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

FAQs

Dispatch cases have been utilised for centuries by government officials, diplomats, and members of parliament to securely transport sensitive state documents and correspondence.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from heavy-duty grained leather, reinforced with rigid internal framing, brass or iron hardware, and hand-stitched seams designed to withstand rigorous daily use.

Authenticity is generally indicated by official royal cyphers, maker stamps from established London leather goods manufacturers, brass lock mechanisms, and period-appropriate wear and patina.

This item can be displayed on a desk, bookshelf, or side table to add a layer of historical interest and textural contrast to study spaces and home offices.

Preservation requires keeping the leather away from direct sunlight and heat sources, occasionally applying a specialised museum-grade leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
