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

Historically used in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a bible box is a small tabletop wooden chest with a hinged lid designed to store family bibles, legal documents, or writing instruments.

Most early desktop slopes were hand-crafted from solid native timbers such as English oak or pine, featuring hand-forged iron hinges, pegged joinery, and moulded edges.

Authentic period examples exhibit signs of hand-planed woodwork, original iron hardware or strap hinges, pegged construction, and genuine age-related patination.

An antique oak writing slope serves as a functional focal point on a modern home office desk, console table, or library sideboard to store stationery or conceal digital items.

Dust the timber with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber cracking.
