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

In large Victorian country houses, private letter boxes were placed in entrance halls for guests and residents to deposit outgoing mail, which was collected daily by the butler or local postman.

These boxes were constructed from hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, often featuring brass keyhole escutcheons, glass viewing panels, and metal signage.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature period joinery techniques, original brass fittings, authentic surface patination, and period-appropriate hand-painted or stamped lettering.

Position the postal box on an entryway console table, hallway sideboard, or home office desk to introduce historical texture while functioning as a decorative storage container.

Maintain the timber by applying beeswax polish twice a year, keep the item away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking, and clean the glass panel with a dry microfibre cloth.
