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 18th century, crafted wooden boxes served various functional purposes, including storing valuable tea leaves, writing materials, inkwells, or personal trinkets. Tea caddies, in particular, were often fitted with locks to safeguard expensive imported tea leaves.

Georgian artisans typically utilised fine hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, and burr walnut, frequently embellished with mother-of-pearl, bone, brass fittings, or delicate marquetry inlays. Internal compartments were often fitted with glass bottles, velvet linings, or lead foil.

Authentic 18th-century boxes display signs of hand-planed interiors, hand-cut dovetail joints, period brass escutcheons, and natural shrinkage in the wood grain over time. Historical wear around keyholes and period lock mechanisms also indicate age and authenticity.

These decorative items can be arranged on a bookshelf, sideboard top, or executive desk to add historical texture and warmth to a space. Grouping boxes of varying heights and timber finishes creates an engaging display.

Keep wooden boxes away from direct sunlight, dampness, and heat sources to prevent timber movement and veneer lifting. Dust gently with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to preserve the finish.
