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 Georgian writing slope is a portable wooden box crafted during the Georgian era that opens into a slanted desk surface for drafting correspondence.

Writing slopes were constructed from hard-wearing timbers like rosewood or mahogany and were frequently reinforced with brass corners, straps, and decorative stringing.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints, period-correct brass hardware, flush-fitting side handles, and interior compartments fitted for inkwells and pens.

Position the box flat on a contemporary office desk, console table, or library shelf to serve as a functional storage container and textural accent.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent cracking, and apply a thin layer of natural beeswax polish to protect the finish.
