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

Industrial factory cartons were utilised in manufacturing plants and textile mills during the early to mid-20th century for efficient material handling, sorting, and transport of goods.

These items typically feature robust sheet metal bodies reinforced with riveted steel or brass corners and banding to withstand heavy-duty industrial use.

Authentic pieces display genuine wear, oxidisation, maker stamps, hand-riveted construction, and patination consistent with decades of factory floor usage.

They function effectively as utilitarian storage solutions in living spaces, offices, or kitchens, adding texture and a functional edge to shelves or under console tables.

Preserve the original patina by dusting with a dry cloth and applying a microcrystalline wax to stabilise any surface oxidisation without removing historical traces.
