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 purdonium is a specialized nineteenth-century fireside box, named after its inventor Mr Purdon, designed with a drop-front mechanism to store coal and hearth tools discretely within living quarters.

Victorian purdoniums were constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, fitted with brass carrying handles, brass trim, and removable internal zinc or iron liners.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, period-appropriate brass hardware, original metal liners with coal marks, and sloped drop-lid mechanisms tailored for hearthside use.

An antique purdonium can be positioned on a fireplace hearth to store modern hearth accessories, repurposed as an occasional side table, or placed in an entryway for shoe care supplies.

Dust the timber regular with a dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax periodically to maintain the mahogany finish, and polish the brass mounts using a dedicated metal cleaner while avoiding contact with the surrounding wood.
