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 nineteenth century, ballot boxes were used by secret societies, municipal councils, and trade guilds to collect anonymous votes or financial donations securely.

These boxes were typically constructed using fine timber veneers such as satinwood or walnut over a solid pine core, often featuring brass corner reinforcements, internal locking mechanisms, and decorative stringing.

Authentic pieces feature period joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, original steel or brass lock plates, natural surface patination, and specific narrow slots designed for paper ballots or voting counters.

An antique ballot box functions as a sophisticated decorative accent on an office desk, console table, or bookshelf, serving as a subtle focal point or a storage container for small keepsakes.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually to preserve the wood moisture and patina, keeping the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
