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.
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.
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.

A pandan box is a traditional Indian vessel historically designed to hold betel leaves, nuts, and spices for paan preparation.

These boxes were handcrafted using repousse and chasing techniques, often featuring cast animal supports and segmented hinged lids.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased regional motifs, such as intricate floral scrolls or zoomorphic feet, and lack modern machine-stamped precision.

An antique silver box can be styled as a centrepiece on a sideboard or coffee table, functioning as a decorative accent or trinket holder.

Dust the silver regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and clean periodically using a specialised silver foam to prevent excessive oxidisation without removing aged patina.
