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

During the Edwardian era, compact travelling chess sets featured pegged pieces designed to fit securely into drilled holes on a wooden board, allowing games to be paused mid-play during travel.

These sets were typically crafted from polished hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, featuring bone, ivory, or turned boxwood pieces stained red and natural white.

Look for hand-cut joinery on the wooden casing, hand-turned miniature pieces, natural grain variations, and subtle signs of age-related wear around the peg holes and sliding lid mechanism.

Position the set open on a coffee table, bookshelf, or side table alongside contemporary art books and brass accents to create an intriguing tactile vignette.

Keep the wooden casing away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping, and dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth while applying a light coat of beeswax polish occasionally.
