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

Popularised during the 19th century, portable writing boxesoften called lap desksallowed individuals to compose correspondence while travelling or away from a formal writing table. These boxes typically featured fold-out sloped surfaces lined with velvet or leather, alongside compartments for inkwells, quills, and stationery.

Victorian writing slopes were frequently constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, often featuring figure-rich veneers like burr walnut. Protective exterior brass strapping, corner brackets, and flush handles were applied to reinforce the structure for transport and add decorative detail.

Authentic period writing boxes demonstrate hand-fitted brass corners and strapping secured with small brass screws or pins rather than modern adhesives. Internal features often include original folding slope hinges, lock mechanisms stamped with period maker marks, and natural age-related patination across the wood and metalwork.

In modern interiors, writing boxes serve as decorative accent pieces positioned on sideboards, coffee tables, or office desks. They function as storage for modern trinkets, stationery, or keepsakes while introducing historic texture and rich timber tones into modern schemes.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying high-quality beeswax polish sparingly along the wood grain. Avoid using harsh chemical polishes on the brass fittings to preserve the natural aged patina, and keep the object away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer cracking.
