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.
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.
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.

A Victorian travelling dressing case is a portable wooden chest fitted with cut glass jars, silver-topped containers, and velvet-lined compartments designed to hold toiletries and jewellery during travel.

These cases were typically crafted from hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, featuring velvet or silk interior linings alongside solid silver or silver-plated vessel lids.

Authentic late Victorian examples feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, brass keyhole escutcheons, hallmarked silver or quality silver-plated stoppers, and fitted interior trays with velvet padding.

Displaying the case open on a bedroom dressing table, sideboard top, or console showcases the vibrant interior lining and cut glass containers as a decorative focal point.

Store the box away from direct heat and sunlight to prevent wood warping, polish the exterior with natural beeswax, gently wipe silver fittings, and brush velvet surfaces with a soft dry brush.
