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

In the 18th century, hanging candle boxes were practical domestic items mounted near hearths or work areas to store valuable tallow or beeswax candles securely away from dampness and pests.

These items were typically crafted from native hardwoods like oak using simple joinery, featuring a vertical sliding front panel and an extended backboard with an aperture for wall attachment.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-planing on the reverse, natural patination around the hanging aperture, quarter-sawn oak grain patterns, and historical smooth wear within the sliding lid grooves.

Wall-mounted candle boxes function effectively in narrow wall spaces, alcoves, or entryways, acting as sculptural architectural wall art or practical storage for dried botanicals.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish periodically, keeping the object away from extreme heat sources to prevent wood movement.
