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.

This early 20th-century snuff box is fashioned from 800 standard silver and features a smooth, polished finish with rounded corners, a hinged lid, and a stamped hallmark. Resting upon a page of printed book text, the rectangular piece displays a central circular motif in navy blue enamel depicting a royal crown above the interlaced monogram cipher "VE". The silver surface shows light surface wear including faint marks and minor scuffs consistent with age, and the object sits slightly askew with a visible gap at the closure edge. Measuring 7.5 x 5.5 x 1 cm, this compact presentation container is suited for display on an office desk or within a gentleman's library setting. It functions as a decorative tabletop accessory or a small keepsake holder for a collection of historical silver.

FAQs

Presentation boxes were traditionally gifted by monarchs and nobility as official tokens of gratitude or esteem, often featuring royal ciphers, heraldic crowns, or custom engraving.

Continental silver objects frequently utilise 800-standard silver, accompanied by enamel detailing, engraved crests, or gilded interior linings.

Authentication relies on evaluating official purity hallmarks, silversmith stamps, and verifying that the engraved or enamelled monogram matches historical royal ciphers of the period.

Small antique silver boxes can be placed on an office desk, displayed atop stacked coffee table books, or arranged inside a glass cabinet alongside other desktop accessories.

Clean gently using a soft cotton polishing cloth and specialized silver cleaner, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals on enamelled surfaces to prevent discolouration.
