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

German Art Deco vanity items from the 1930s typically feature stylized human figures, bold geometric lines, contrast colouring, and hand-applied gilt or enamel highlights applied to high-fired porcelain.

These decorative containers were primarily slip-cast from glazed porcelain or ceramic, decorated with overglaze enamel paints, and finished with metallic gilding before firing.

Authentic period pieces often feature stamped or impressed maker marks on the base, country of origin stamps such as Germany, distinct hand-painted line work, and minor, natural age-related wear to the base rim.

A figural powder box functions well as a decorative accent placed on a dressing table, bathroom countertop, or bedside table to hold small jewellery pieces or vanity items.

Clean gently using a soft, dry cloth or lukewarm water with a mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges, chemical detergents, or prolonged soaking, as these can strip overglaze enamel and delicate gilding.
