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

An etui is a small decorative cylindrical container created during the eighteenth century to carry small personal items or needlework tools, such as bodkins, needles, or ear picks.

Eighteenth-century etuis were primarily constructed from hard-paste porcelain, enamelled copper, gold, or silver, often featuring hand-painted decoration and fitted with gilt-metal mounts.

Authentic pieces from this period exhibit hand-painted enamel decoration, fine gilt-metal fittings, high-quality hard-paste porcelain, and distinct period motifs such as blue scale borders or floral sprays.

Small objects of vertu are ideally displayed within a glazed cabinet, arranged on a brass tray, or placed on a bookshelf alongside art volumes.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre brush, avoid immersing metal fittings in water to prevent oxidisation, and keep the object out of direct sunlight.
