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 a hinged, angled interior surface used for writing letters and storing stationery during the 19th century.

Victorian writing slopes were typically constructed from woods such as mahogany, rosewood, or burr walnut, featuring brass binding, stringing inlay, and velvet or leather writing surfaces.

Authentic pieces display natural figure variations in the burr veneer, hand-cut dovetail joints, period-correct brass escutcheon plates, and original lock mechanisms.

A writing slope can be placed on an office desk, sideboard top, or bookshelf as a functional container or decorative focal point within a home office or living room.

Keep the wood veneer away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, clean with a dry soft cloth, and periodically apply natural beeswax paste to preserve the original finish.
