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

Toleware solicitor document tins are lacquered or painted metal storage containers historically used by legal professionals to secure client deeds, wills, and court paperwork.

These containers are typically crafted from rolled sheet iron or tinplate, finished with black lacquer or enamel paint, and decorated with gilded hand-lettering or transfer lines.

Authentic examples feature natural surface wear, painted or stencilled gilt lettering, heavy sheet metal construction, and period-specific date markings or client reference numbers.

These tins can be grouped on open shelving, integrated into a bookcase arrangement, or displayed on an office desk to add historic texture and a dark academia aesthetic.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid water or harsh chemical detergents, which can lift the delicate gilt lettering and compromise the painted lacquer coating.
