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

A Victorian dressing case is a specialized wooden box designed during the 19th century to hold personal grooming items, jewellery, and cosmetics, often featuring custom compartments, mirrors, and glass bottles.

These boxes were constructed from hardwoods such as walnut, rosewood, or mahogany, lined with silk or velvet, and fitted with glass jars featuring sterling silver or silver-plated lids.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, original inset brass hinges, period-appropriate lock mechanisms, and lead crystal or glass bottles with matching silver hallmarks or engravings.

Place the box open on a dressing table, sideboard, or vanity unit to display the velvet interior lining, glass fittings, and mirror while providing storage for contemporary items.

Maintain the wood surface using a soft cloth and beeswax polish, polish silver components with a dedicated silver cloth to prevent tarnish transfer, and keep the velvet interior away from direct moisture.
