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.

This George V sterling silver ring box dates to the early twentieth century, carrying a Birmingham hallmark for 1921 with a partial maker's mark for Edwards & Ball. The circular body presents a bright, polished finish with an aged patina, decorated on the lid with pinstriped engraving and a sashed edge, while opening on a hinge to reveal a vibrant verdant green velvet interior lining. The vessel stands upon a trio of short cabriole feet with fleur-de-lys mounts. Practical dimensions measure 3.5 cm high, 6.5 cm wide, and 6.5 cm deep. Position this piece on a bedside table or a dressing table to store rings and small trinkets securely within reach. The silver construction and fabric lining provide a traditional accent for daily use in a bedroom, vanity area, or dressing room setting.

FAQs

Antique silver dressing table boxes are small vanity containers created during the late Victorian, Edwardian, and early 20th-century eras to store rings, pins, and small keepsakes safely on a dresser.

These containers are constructed primarily from solid sterling silver or silver plate, and are frequently lined with velvet, silk, or satin to protect items from scratching and oxidisation.

Authentic pieces carry official British hallmarks, which include the lion passant for sterling purity, a town mark such as the Birmingham anchor, a specific date letter for 1921, and a makers mark.

Position the item on a bedroom bedside table, a bathroom vanity counter, or a dressing table to store daily jewellery items while providing metallic texture to the space.

Wipe the silver exterior using a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish, ensuring moisture does not come into direct contact with the interior fabric lining.
