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.
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.
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.

During the nineteenth century, gentlemen travelling with formal attire required specialized leather luggage to transport multiple top hats or formal headwear without damaging the delicate silk pile or structured crowns.

These cases were typically crafted from heavy cowhide or bridle leather, fitted with cast brass locks and clasps, and lined internally with padded quilted silk or velvet to cushion the contents.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature hand-stitched leather seams, original cast brass hardware, custom-fitted removable silk inserts or collars, and authentic surface patination on the leather exterior.

These leather luggage pieces function as sculptural decorative accents on lower shelf displays, sideboard tops, or inside dressing rooms to introduce rich leather textures and historical narrative.

Maintain the leather by applying a neutral leather conditioner periodically, keep the object away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking, and gently brush the fabric interior to keep it free from dust.
