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

Apothecary boxes were portable wooden chests used by doctors, chemists, and households in the 18th and 19th centuries to safely transport and store glass medicine vials, scales, and remedies.

These chests were typically crafted from solid timbers such as mahogany or walnut, featuring flush-mounted brass carrying handles, lock mechanisms, and interior baize or velvet linings.

Authentic pieces from this period exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, flush brass fittings intended for smooth transport, and original locks displaying natural metal oxidisation.

An apothecary box functions well as a decorative storage container positioned on an office desk, library shelf, or console table to house small items and stationery.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying a microcrystalline wax or beeswax polish periodically, ensuring the item remains away from direct sunlight and radiators.
