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

In the 19th century, country house letter boxes were used in private residences to collect outgoing correspondence prior to daily postal collections.

Victorian letter boxes were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, paired with brass locks and bone or ivory instruction labels.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut joinery, original brass hardware with natural oxidisation, hand-engraved text labels, and operational steel or brass lock mechanisms.

Place the box on a hallway console, study desk, or side table to serve as a functional receptacle for modern mail, keys, or stationery.

Apply a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain the timber, and store the object away from direct sunlight or central heating radiators.
