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 campaign writing box is a portable desk unit equipped with interior compartments and a sloped writing surface, historically designed for military officers to conduct correspondence in the field.

These boxes were typically constructed from durable hardwoods such as mahogany, teak, or rosewood, re-enforced with flush-fitting brass mounts and handles to endure frequent transport.

Authentic period pieces feature inset brass hardware fitted completely flush with the timber, hand-cut dovetail joinery, period-correct locks, and natural timber oxidisation within the interior.

A campaign box functions well as a decorative focal point on an executive desk, sideboard, or study bookshelf, offering structured visual interest and hidden storage.

Maintain the timber by applying a high-grade beeswax polish along the grain, keep the box away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking, and dust brass fittings with a dry cloth.
