Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Sword sticks, or cane swords, gained popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries as discreet self-defence weapons for gentlemen walking through urban areas at night.

They typically feature a metal blade housed inside a wooden shaft made from woods such as palmwood, bamboo, or ebony, often finished with a silver, brass, or horn handle.

Authenticity is determined by examining the patination of the wood, the construction and wear of the internal locking mechanism, and hallmarks on the silver or metal mounts.

Such items are typically displayed upright in a traditional umbrella stand or mounted horizontally in a bespoke display case within a study or library.

Maintain stable humidity levels to prevent the wood from splitting, and occasionally treat the metal blade with a microcrystalline wax to prevent oxidation.
