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

Victorian travelling vanity boxes were designed for affluent travellers to store grooming utensils, scent bottles, cosmetics, and jewellery securely while journeying.

These boxes were predominantly constructed from hardwoods like rosewood, mahogany, or walnut, and featured decorative elements such as mother-of-pearl, brass, or silver inlays, with velvet or silk linings.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-cut dovetail joints, brass hinges, functional locking mechanisms, solid wood or veneer construction, and age-appropriate wear around keyholes and base edges.

A Victorian vanity box serves as a functional decorative object on a sideboard, bedside table, or dressing table, offering concealed storage for small personal accessories.

Dust the exterior regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically to preserve the moisture content of the timber veneer, keeping it away from direct heat sources.
