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

A domed-top writing box is a portable desktop container popularised during the nineteenth century, designed to hold stationery, pens, inkwells, and correspondence.

These boxes were constructed using timber substrates layered with figured walnut, rosewood, or mahogany veneers, featuring geometric parquetry inlay and brass fitments.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, period-appropriate brass keyhole escutcheons, natural oxidisation on internal fittings, and consistent patina across the wooden veneer.

An antique writing box functions as a decorative accent when placed on a study desk, hallway console, or within a library display cabinet to introduce historical texture.

Maintain the finish by keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and applying neutral beeswax polish sparingly.
