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

Maintain the box by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage or veneer lifting, dusting regularly with a soft cloth, and applying natural beeswax.

A decorative wooden tea caddy functions as a refined tabletop accent when styled on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table alongside modern ceramics or framed art.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, lead-foil interior lining, original brass lock hardware, turned bun feet, and natural signs of timber age.

Regency and Georgian tea caddies were typically constructed using fine hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, lined with lead foil to maintain freshness, and frequently embellished with ebony stringing and glass blending bowls.

A tea caddy from the Georgian era is a lockable wooden chest designed to store loose tea leaves, with the term bombe describing its swelling, outwardly curved lower profile.
