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

Letter box plates became standard throughout Great Britain following the postal reforms of 1839 and the introduction of the Uniform Penny Post, which prompted householders to add aperture flaps to front doors for direct mail delivery.

Most nineteenth-century letter box covers were cast from solid brass, bronze, or cast iron, frequently finished with nickel plating or left as polished brass to withstand outdoor weather exposure.

Original Victorian hardware typically exhibits heavy cast construction, hand-finished edges, stamped registration marks or maker marks on the reverse, and minor surface variations from early manufacturing processes.

Period letter plates can be installed on contemporary timber front doors to introduce historical contrast and structured metallic accents to modern home exteriors.

Clean the metal surface regularly using a soft cloth dampened with warm water and mild soap to remove atmospheric grime, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that strip natural patination or surface plating.
