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

A Regency coromandel writing box, also known as a writing slope, is a portable wooden box produced during the early nineteenth century designed to store letter-writing materials and unfold into a sloped writing surface.

These pieces were typically crafted from fine hardwoods like coromandel, mahogany, or rosewood, reinforced with brass edge bindings, corner plates, and flush military-style handles to prevent damage during transit.

Authentic Regency examples display hand-cut dovetail joinery, original brass inlay or stringing, flush-mounted handles, and internal compartments fitted for glass inkwells and pen trays.

Place the closed box flat on an office desk, sideboard, or coffee table to serve as a tactile historical focal point alongside modern books and natural textures.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply clear beeswax polish sparingly to the wood while keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and radiator heat to avoid timber shrinkage.
