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.

This nineteenth-century folk art storage box is constructed from pine and finished in a teal blue paint with hand-painted red floral motifs and a moulded lid trim. The near square piece stands on small turned bun feet and features visible surface fading and wear consistent with age, alongside the Kurbit technique painting on the front and initials on the lid. The box measures 21.6 cm high by 55.9 cm wide and 54.6 cm deep. In a modern interior, this storage box sits on top of a sideboard in a living room, hallway, or dining space to hold small household items while adding a rustic farmhouse character to the decor.

FAQs

Folk art painted boxes from the 19th century are utilitarian wooden containers adorned with hand-painted floral or geometric motifs, reflecting regional craftsmanship and domestic traditions across Europe.

These containers were typically constructed from local softwoods such as pine, joined using traditional dovetail or nail construction, and finished with mineral-pigment paints.

Authentic period examples display genuine surface wear, oxidisation on the bare wood underside, period-appropriate iron hardware, and natural paint crazing inconsistent with modern reproduction techniques.

A painted storage box can be positioned on a sideboard, coffee table, or open bookshelf to introduce historical colour, texture, and pattern into contemporary or traditional decorative schemes.

Maintain the painted finish by dusting with a soft dry cloth, avoiding water or chemical cleaning agents, and keeping the item away from direct sunlight and severe humidity fluctuations.
