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

Domed caskets were portable storage containers widely used throughout the 17th and 18th centuries to hold valuables, official documents, and personal possessions. The curved lid was intentionally designed to help shed rain and moisture during travel.

These boxes were constructed from native softwoods or hardwoods, joined with nails or dovetails, and fitted with hand-forged iron hardware. Finishes were typically applied using oil-based mineral pigments or milk paint formulations.

Authentic period paint demonstrates natural craquelure, uneven wear patterns around handles and keyholes, and historic oxidisation. Modern reproduction painting often lacks the subtle layering, wood shrinkage lines, and realistic surface wear created over centuries.

An antique casket serves as a textured accent piece when displayed on a sideboard, console table, or open bookshelf. Its historic patination balances contemporary architectural lines and minimalist decor.

Keep the item in a climate-controlled room away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent paint flaking. Dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth and refrain from applying liquid polishes or solvent cleaners.
