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

These items frequently feature elaborate Rococo Revival motifs, including repousse scrollwork, pastoral scenes, and foliage relief. Produced as decorative accessories for dressing tables, they reflect the elaborate metalwork techniques of the late nineteenth century.

Makers crafted these vessels from sterling silver using repousse embossing and chasing techniques to form raised designs. Cast cabriole legs and fitted hinged covers were attached to create a stable, table-shaped structure.

Authentic British sterling silver features full hallmarks stamped on the casing, including a makers mark, town mark, lion passant, and date letter. Genuine pieces display natural surface wear along high points of the relief work.

Position the box on a bedroom vanity table, a hallway console, or stacked atop books on a side table to introduce metallic texture. Its small proportions make it suited for storing small jewellery items while acting as a decorative accent.

Dust the item with a soft cloth and apply a specialised silver polish gently to remove tarnish without flattening delicate embossed details. Store the piece away from high humidity to minimise oxidisation.
