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

French porcelain production flourished in the eighteenth century, led by the Royal Manufacture of Sevres under the patronage of Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour. Small ornamental boxes were crafted to hold pills, snuff, or beauty patches, featuring rich cobalt glaze and elaborate hand-applied gold leaf decoration inspired by Rococo motifs.

These items were made from soft-paste or hard-paste porcelain, painted with heavy enamel glazes such as cobalt blue or turquoise. Hinged rim mounts were fashioned from gilt bronze, brass, or gilded copper, engineered with precise thumb catches to seal the container safely.

Clean gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust without disturbing raised gilding or paint. Avoid soaking in water or using abrasive liquid cleaners, as moisture can compromise metal rim adhesives and chemically tarnish gilt finishes.

Small porcelain containers serve as refined decorative accents when placed on bedside tables, dressing room trays, or stacked books inside a bookshelf alcove. They add architectural detail, classical colour contrast, and texture to contemporary surface displays.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-drawn maker marks under glaze, such as intertwined Ls, often enclosing a date letter indicator. Examination under magnification reveals hand-tooling on the metal mounts, weight indicative of porcelain rather than resin, and finely detailed hand-gilding with subtle wear consistent with period usage.
