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

Amboyna is a highly figured burr wood derived from the Pterocarpus indicus tree, traditionally selected for luxury smallwares, cigarette boxes, and decorative veneering during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

These boxes were constructed using timber framing covered with thin burr wood veneers, frequently finished with fine inlaid stringing and interior cedar linings designed to absorb humidity.

Authentic period examples demonstrate tight, clustered eyelet figures natural to burl timber, precise joinery along the hinges, delicate fine-line marquetry, and age-consistent wear to the base.

Small wooden boxes serve as functional decorative accents when placed on coffee tables, bookshelves, or desks to store small everyday items such as paperclips, keys, or jewellery.

Position the box away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer movement, dusting regularly with a microfibre cloth and applying clear beeswax polish annually.
