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

Designed during the nineteenth century, these compact sterling silver containers were contoured with a slight curve to fit comfortably inside a gentlemans waistcoat pocket for carrying finely ground tobacco.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples were crafted from sterling silver using hand-engraving, bright-cut chasing, and precision-fitted flush hinges to protect the contents from moisture.

Authentic pieces bear official British hallmark stamps, including the Birmingham anchor town mark, a lion passant indicating sterling purity, a date letter, and a registered makers mark.

These small decorative objects function elegantly placed on an executive office desk, displayed inside a glass curio cabinet, or styled atop a stack of design books on a side table.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and polish gently using a specialised silver polishing cloth, avoiding liquid chemical dips that strip away deliberate oxidisation from engraved details.
