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

During the nineteenth century, a work box was primarily designed to store sewing tools, embroidery threads, and needlework supplies. They also served as personal caskets for storing letters, jewellery, and small keepsakes.

Victorian craftsmen frequently utilized fine hardwoods such as rosewood, walnut, and mahogany. These were often decorated with delicate inlays made from mother of pearl, bone, brass, or tortoiseshell.

Authentic pieces generally feature rich graining characteristic of Brazilian rosewood, fine hand-cut mother of pearl, period brass hinges, and natural signs of minor wood movement or age-appropriate patina.

Position the box on a sideboard, desk, or open bookshelf to add depth and historical character. It functions effectively both as an accent piece and as practical storage for small everyday items.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid direct heat sources and liquid polishes, applying a small amount of natural beeswax paste occasionally to protect the timber and inlay.
