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.
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.
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.

Popularised during the mid-nineteenth century, the trumpet workbox was designed primarily for women to store needlework and embroidery supplies. Its distinct conical, trumpet-like body allowed for deep storage while functioning as an elegant side table in drawing rooms.

Victorian workboxes were typically constructed with solid wood frames featuring decorative veneers such as burr walnut, rosewood, or mahogany. The bases feature carved tripod legs connected to a turned central column, with hinged tops revealing fitted interior compartments.

Authentic pieces generally display period joinery techniques, such as hand-cut dovetails inside internal dividers, original brass hinges, and age-appropriate wear to the underside of the lid and tripod feet. Veneers often display natural crazing or patination consistent with age.

A trumpet workbox serves effectively as a compact accent or occasional table next to an armchair. It offers practical hidden storage for contemporary items like remote controls, notebooks, or craft accessories while introducing historical texture.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beesmear wax sparingly once or twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent the wood veneer from drying out, cracking, or lifting.
