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

An 18th-century artist paintbox is a fitted wooden container, commonly lined with paper trade labels and sectioned compartments, designed for painters to transport dry pigment cakes, porcelain palettes, and mixing dishes.

These boxes were constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, featuring dovetail joints, brass hardware, porcelain mixing wells, and cast watercolour cakes.

Authentic period pieces feature printed engraver or colourman labels inside the lid, hand-cut dovetail joinery, period brass fittings, and original ceramic palette inserts.

Display the paintbox open on a study desk, library table, or bookshelf to highlight the internal compartments, printed historical details, and ceramic accessories.

Dust gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid placing the item in direct sunlight or high heat to prevent wood shrinkage, and protect original paper labels from moisture.
