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

Snuff boxes were small portable containers used to hold finely ground tobacco for inhalation. In the nineteenth century, brass boxes were frequently engraved with folk sayings, owner initials, or decorative motifs, serving as functional personal accessories and social conversation pieces.

These containers were crafted using cast or sheet brass, copper, or silver. Components were shaped, fitted with robust multi-barrel hinges to secure contents from moisture, and finished with hand-engraved or machine-stamped decorative patterns.

Authentic period pieces exhibit historical wear around the lid edges and friction points, hand-cut hinges with minor irregularities, age-appropriate metal oxidisation, and period typography in the engraved inscriptions.

Small antique brass boxes can be incorporated into tabletop vignettes, displayed on an office desk, styled within a curated bookshelf collection, or used to hold small items on a side table tray.

Maintain antique brass by dusting regularly with a clean, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemical metal polishes that strip the historical patina, opting instead for gentle handling to preserve the original surface finish.
