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

Edwardian decorative items typically feature refined neoclassical motifs, lighter proportions, and a synthesis of historical revival styles influenced by French 18th-century aesthetics.

Luxury boxes from this period were commonly constructed with a wooden core, overlaid with genuine hawksbill turtle shell or pique work, and mounted with sterling silver frames and feet.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarks on the silver mounts, checking for hand-carved tortoiseshell panels with natural grain variations, and inspecting traditional joinery methods.

Place the piece on a dressing table, mantlepiece, or side table to add a layer of historical texture and reflective metallic contrast to contemporary furnishings.

Keep tortoiseshell objects away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent warping or fading, and clean the surface gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
