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 pyx box is a small, portable container traditionally used within Christian denominations to transport consecrated host wafers or communion elements to the sick or housebound.

They were crafted from solid sterling silver, often featuring tight friction-fit or threaded lids, small side rings for suspension cords, and hand-engraved inscriptions.

Authentic pieces feature official British assay office hallmarks denoting silver purity, makers initials, and a date letter, along with precise metalwork and period inscriptions.

This historical artefact can be displayed inside a glass cabinet of curiosities, arranged on a styled bookshelf, or integrated into a vignette of antique silver metalware.

Wipe gently using a soft microfibre cloth and apply a quality silver polish sparingly, ensuring tarnish is removed without stripping historical patina or damaging detailed engravings.
