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

Created via a public fund organized by Princess Mary, these tins were distributed as Christmas gifts to personnel serving in the Armed Forces during 1914. They typically contained items such as cigarettes, tobacco, writing materials, or confectionery to boost troop morale during the First World War.

Original tins were stamped from sheet brass and featured an embossed lid design. Secondary additions, such as sterling silver outer rims or bases, were added by post-war silversmiths to convert the original tins into permanent desktop boxes.

Authentic lids display a central profile portrait of Princess Mary surrounded by a laurel wreath, flanked by the monogram M, and bordered by the names of Allied nations including France, Russia, Servia, Japan, Montenegro, and Belgium, alongside the words Christmas 1914.

Small historical tins function effectively as trinket containers on an office desk, mantelpiece, or styled within a bookshelf vignette alongside leather-bound books and brass instruments.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid abrasive metal polishes on embossed brass detailing to preserve the original surface patina and clear lacquer layers.
