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

A gentlemans valet suitcase is a structured travel case designed with dedicated internal compartments and holders for personal grooming items, glass bottles, and attire requisites.

These cases were commonly constructed from thick hide leather, brass or nickel-plated locking hardware, and fabric or leather linings, alongside fitted glass bottles with metal tops.

Authentic pieces feature hand-stitched leather seams, stamped maker or lock marks, naturally aged interior linings, and tailored slots fitted for period glass jars and toilet bottles.

A valet case can be displayed open on a sideboard, console table, or shelf to highlight the interior craftsmanship and vintage glass accessories.

Leather surfaces require periodic nourishment with specialized leather balm, while metal latches and glass containers should be cleaned gently using non-abrasive soft cloths.
