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

Oversized trade signs, including monumental keys historically associated with locksmiths or banks, were used as external advertisements from the 18th to the early 20th century to attract passing trade in literate and illiterate communities alike.

These pieces typically combine hand-forged or cast iron wall brackets with carved wooden or heavy sheet metal sign bodies, joined with traditional rivets and secured with structural bracing.

Authentic pieces exhibit genuine age-related wear, including layered historical paint cracking, natural oxidation on the iron, hand-forged bracket joints, and appropriate patination rather than artificial distressing.

Mounting a large statement sign on a plain neutral wall creates a striking focal point, working particularly well within industrial, eclectic, or rustic spaces to add architectural depth and historical character.

Preservation involves gentle dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and avoiding harsh chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage fragile historical paint layers or accelerate metal corrosion.
