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 writing slope is a portable wooden box designed with an angled interior surface for writing letters and storing stationary, popular throughout the nineteenth century.

These boxes were constructed from solid or veneered hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, and reinforced with brass straps, brass corner mounts, and interior leather writing surfaces.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail jointing, original brass flush-mounted straps, period lock mechanisms, and interior compartments sized for period inkwells and pens.

Display the closed box on an office desk, console table, or library shelf to introduce historical character and functional storage for modern stationery.

Apply high-grade beeswax polish to the walnut wood to maintain moisture, avoid placing near direct heat sources, and gently buff the brass mounts without harsh chemicals.
