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.
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.
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.

A Victorian scent bottle box is a decorative wooden casket produced during the nineteenth century to hold glass perfume phials, typically featuring exotic wood veneers and metal mounts.

These caskets are crafted from coromandel hardwood, known for its distinctive dark brown and orange-brown banding, and are fitted with engraved brass or gilded strapwork mounts.

Authentic examples feature hand-engraved metal mounts, hand-cut joinery, fitted interior compartments lined with velvet or silk, and period-correct lock mechanisms.

Display the casket on a sideboard, dressing table, or bedside chest where it functions as decorative accent storage for personal items.

Dust the surface using a clean microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly to the wood, and clean the metal gently without chemical abrasives to preserve the historic patina.
