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

Silver snuff boxes were specifically designed to carry finely ground scented tobacco powder, known as snuff, which was popular among European aristocracy during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

These boxes were typically constructed from sterling silver, featuring hand-raised sheets, soldered flush hinges, and detailed hand-chased or engraved crests and patterns.

Authentic pieces generally feature official silver hallmarks stamped on the interior or base, indicating the maker, purity grade, assay office, and date letter.

A small silver box functions effectively as a decorative accent on an office desk, a bedside table, or layered atop books on a coffee table or bookshelf.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a non-abrasive silver polish sparingly with a soft cotton pad to remove tarnish without wearing down hand-engraved details.
