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

Designed primarily during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, travelling vanity cases were compact leather transport boxes crafted to hold personal grooming items, cosmetics, and jewellery securely during travel.

High-grade leather, such as morocco or pigskin, was stretched over a timber frame, secured with brass latches, and lined internally with silk, velvet, or fine leather.

Authentic period cases display hand-stitched leather edging, heavy stamped brass locks, gold leaf monograms, and fitted interior compartments tailored for glass jars or grooming accessories.

These pieces function well as textural accents placed on sideboards, stacked on shelving units, or arranged on bedside tables to provide subtle storage for small personal items.

Store the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources, apply a specialized leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying, and dust the brass hardware using a soft, dry cloth.
