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.
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.
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.

Gothic Revival design draws inspiration from medieval ecclesiastical architecture, incorporating elements such as trefoils, pointed arches, traceries, and heavy brass strapwork onto furniture and personal accessories.

Victorian writing slopes were typically constructed from solid woods or veneers such as mahogany, rosewood, walnut, or coromandel, and decorated with brass corner brackets, mounts, and interior velvet or leather writing surfaces.

Authentic pieces feature period construction methods, including hand-cut dovetail joints, original steel or brass lock mechanisms, stamped maker marks on hardware or interiors, and natural age-related oxidisation on brass mounts.

A writing slope can be placed closed on a sideboard, console table, or office desk as a decorative focal point, or displayed open to highlight the interior compartments and writing surface.

Coromandel wood should be cleaned with a soft microfibre cloth and conditioned with natural beeswax polish. Brass mounts should be kept dry and left unpolished or gently cleaned to preserve the historical patina.
