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

Snuff boxes were small, decorated containers produced during the 18th and early 19th centuries to hold powdered tobacco. Silver gilt pieces featured sterling silver fire-gilded with a layer of gold to combine durability with luxury.

Crafted primarily from sterling silver, these boxes frequently featured fire-gilding alongside native Scottish gemstones such as polished agates, bloodstones, or granites inset into the hinged lid.

Authentic Georgian silver boxes feature period hallmarks indicating the maker, silver purity, town mark, and monarch duty mark, alongside hand-chased ornamentation, integrated flush hinges, and subtle wear to the gilding at touch points.

Place a decorative silver box atop a stack of books on a coffee table, style it on a vanity tray alongside perfume bottles, or display it inside a glass-fronted cabinet to reflect ambient light.

Wipe gently with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth to remove oils, avoiding silver polish or liquid cleaners that can wear away the delicate gilded surface or dissolve adhesives securing natural stone inlays.
