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

Preserve the timber by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, applying occasional microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood without damaging the original finish.

An antique tea caddy can be displayed on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or coffee table as a focal point, contrasting nicely with modern minimalist decor to add historical texture and warmth.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct construction techniques, hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass or steel locks, aged patination on the timber, and hand-applied veneers rather than modern synthetic finishes.

These pieces were typically constructed from fine timbers such as mahogany, satinwood, and harewood, often featuring intricate marquetry, crossbanding, and bone or ivory escutcheons.

A George III tea caddy is a small, lidded container produced during the reign of King George III (1760-1820), originally designed to store expensive loose-leaf tea safely under lock and key.
