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

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding synthetic cleaning sprays, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to protect the timber and prevent the brass from tarnishing too rapidly.

Placed closed upon a study desk, console table, or bookshelf, a campaign box adds textural warmth and historic interest, while also functioning as a secure container for contemporary keepsakes.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, secondary timbers like pine or cedar inside drawers, genuine patination, and hand-cut screws rather than modern machine-made fixings.

These boxes are typically crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, and reinforced with brass banding, corner braces, and flush-fitting carrying handles to withstand travel.

A campaign writing slope is a portable, hinged box designed for travellers and military officers during the 18th and 19th centuries, featuring an angled writing surface and internal storage for stationery, ink, and nibs.
