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 18th and 19th-century households, hanging boxes were positioned near the hearth to keep salt dry or protect tallow candles from moisture and pests.

These boxes were typically crafted from local pine or softwood using simple joinery techniques, featuring a sloped hinged lid and a pierced backplate for wall mounting.

Authentic pieces display natural signs of age, including hand-carved shaped backplates, oxidised wood tone, period iron hinges, and original hanging aperture wear.

Mount the box on a kitchen or hallway wall to serve as functional storage for small daily items, or display it within a gallery wall as vernacular folk art.

Maintain the surface by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying beeswax polish sparingly while avoiding exposure to direct water or excessive humidity.
