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

A Victorian writing slope is a portable wooden box designed with an angled interior surface that unfolds to provide a leather or velvet writing plane alongside compartments for inkwells, pens, and paper.

These boxes were typically constructed from solid hardwoods or fine wood veneers such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, often finished with brass cartouches, escutcheons, and interior fabric linings.

Authentic period writing slopes feature hand-cut dovetail joints, period-correct iron or brass locks, natural patination on metal fittings, and age-consistent wear across the wood grain and interior surfaces.

A writing slope can be displayed either closed or open on an office desk, console table, or bookshelf to introduce warm wood tones and historical detail to a contemporary space.

Position the box away from direct heat sources and harsh sunlight to prevent the timber veneer from lifting or cracking, and clean periodically using a soft dry cloth and clear wax polish.
