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.

Historically, small silver boxes were crafted during the 18th to early 20th centuries to carry solid medications, scented lozenges, or breath mints in a pocket or handbag.

These boxes were constructed from sterling or continental silver using techniques such as hand-raising, stamping, and engine turning to produce precise geometric or guilloche surface decoration.

Authentic pieces usually feature hallmarks stamped into the interior or base indicating the maker, purity standard, assay office, and year of manufacture.

Small silver boxes can be displayed on a vanity tray, styled atop a stack of books on a coffee table, or incorporated into a curated vignette on a sideboard.

Clean gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and a specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could strip natural surface patina.
