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

A Victorian ladies dressing box, or travelling case, was a portable wooden chest designed during the 19th century to hold silver-capped glass bottles, manicure tools, cosmetics, and jewellery while travelling.

High-end 19th-century vanity cases were typically constructed from figured wood veneers such as burr walnut or rosewood, fitted with silk or velvet interiors, and supplied with glass containers topped with sterling silver or silver plate.

Authentic Victorian dressing cases feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, hallmarked silver or silver-plated jar covers, original fitted velvet compartments, brass escutcheons, and often hidden lower drawers.

Position an antique dressing box open on a bedroom dressing table, sideboard top, or console to display the glass bottles, silver covers, and interior velvet as a decorative display piece.

Keep the wooden box away from direct heat sources and sunlight to protect the burr walnut veneer, treat the exterior wood with high-grade beeswax, and clean glass jars gently without immersing glued or lined components.
