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

Wooden pigeon holes were originally designed during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries for postal sorting offices, railway hubs, and commercial establishments to organise physical correspondence, documents, and small parcels systematically.

Traditional mail sorters are commonly constructed from durable softwoods such as pine or hardwoods like oak, utilising basic joinery, open-front compartment grids, and sometimes reinforced metal fittings or hand-painted identification marks.

Authentic pieces feature surface wear from daily usage, traditional joinery, original painted or inked compartment lettering, and historic hardware such as cast iron corner mounts or carrying handles.

They function effectively when placed atop a console or sideboard, offering structured display compartments for small ceramics, potted succulents, stationery, or collected curiosities.

Dust regularly with a dry soft brush, avoid applying water or harsh detergents to protect aged paint finishes, and keep in a climate-controlled room to prevent joinery movement.
