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.
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.
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.

Produced during the late Victorian era, these small containers were crafted from coloured or translucent glass and decorated with hand-painted enamel patterns, often finished with hinged metal mounts.

They typically feature hand-blown or moulded amber, cranberry, or clear glass, embellished with vitreous enamel paints and fitted with brass or gilt metal rim mounts and hinges.

Look for wear patterns consistent with age, hand-applied enamel texture raised above the glass surface, and hand-fitted brass mounts displaying subtle patination or oxidisation.

Place the piece on a bedside table, dressing table, or vanity tray to add depth, warm amber tones, and intricate metallic detailing to a contemporary space.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, water immersion, or abrasive materials that could strip the delicate enamel decoration or tarnish the metal mounts.
