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

In the nineteenth century, portable artist paintboxes were manufactured by specialised colourmen to allow artists to paint outdoors. These boxes contained pre-mixed pigments, drawing instruments, and compact easel components, supporting the growth of landscape painting movements across Europe.

Traditional artist paintboxes were constructed from durable hardwoods such as beech, mahogany, or oak, secured with brass corner mounts and latches. Interiors were frequently lined with velvet, felt, or zinc-lined compartments to organise pigments, brushes, and wooden drafting tools.

Authentic French artist paintboxes often feature stamped or printed maker labels from Parisian colourmen located on the inner lid or lock mechanism. Period construction indicators include hand-cut joinery, woven textile ties, and stamped metal fitments.

An antique paintbox is typically displayed open on an office desk, bookshelf, or console table to show the interior compartments and historical tools. It functions as a decorative curio within study spaces, libraries, or living areas.

Preserve wooden paintboxes by maintaining a stable relative humidity to prevent timber movement or cracking. Clean the exterior timber gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid applying chemical solvents to historical paint pigments, and store the object away from direct sunlight.
