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

During the early 19th century, desktop letter boxes were utilised in private residences to store incoming and outgoing personal correspondence prior to scheduled mail collections.

Fine timbers such as satinwood, mahogany, and rosewood were commonly paired with hand-faceted cut steel or cast brass fittings, frequently featuring fitted locks and lined interiors.

Period cut steel ornamentation displays individually faceted steel studs riveted into position by hand, showing subtle variations in cut geometry rather than uniform modern machine stamping.

Positioning the box on an office desk, console table, or library table provides a structural focal point while offering functional storage for modern stationery or personal keepsakes.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply clear beeswax sparingly, keeping steel elements in a dry environment to prevent moisture-induced oxidisation.
