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.

A George III tea caddy is a lockable container created during the reign of King George III (17601820) specifically designed to store valuable imported tea leaves securely.

Craftspeople utilised fine hardwoods such as mahogany, satinwood, and exotic veneers like partridge wood, frequently incorporating boxwood stringing alongside bone, ivory, or metal escutcheons.

Authentic period caddies display hand-cut joinery, historic keyhole construction, natural timber oxidisation on unfinished interior surfaces, and light, proportional wear to base surfaces.

These compact boxes function as decorative accents on sideboards, mantelpieces, or bookshelves, doubling as discreet storage for desktop accessories or small keepsakes.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and radiator heat to prevent warping, clean with a dry microfiber cloth, and apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally to nourish the surface finish.
