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.

This late 19th-century French jewellery box exemplifies the Art Nouveau style, constructed from gilt bronze with a gold finish and a bevelled glass panel set into the hinged cover. The piece stands upon four organic pierced legs shaped like delicate tree structures, supporting a serpentine-shaped body embossed with swallows and blossoming branches along the sides, plus a scrolled ribbon border and a young woman’s head motif on the front. It measures 10 cm high, 23 cm wide, and 17 cm deep. Positioned on a bedside table, dressing table, or mantelpiece, this container suits domestic storage needs while adding a decorative element to various rooms. The structure functions practically to hold small accessories and precious items within traditional or contemporary residential interiors. The design integrates sculptural metalwork with functional storage, providing a compact display surface beneath the glass lid while keeping contents enclosed.

FAQs

Art Nouveau metalwork is characterised by sinuous, organic lines inspired by nature, including stylized floral patterns, whiplash curves, and naturalistic animal depictions such as birds or insects.

These caskets were typically cast in bronze or spelter and finished with gilding or electroplating, often incorporating insert panels of thick bevelled glass or silk lining.

Authentic pieces feature heavy cast construction, hand-chased surface detailing, natural age-related patina in recessed areas, and period-correct thick bevelled glass inserts.

Place the item on a bedside table, vanity, or console table to serve as a functional accent piece for holding daily accessories or small keepsakes.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, and clean the glass panel with a lightly dampened cotton swab, avoiding chemical metal polishes that can strip original gilding.
