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

Sarcophagus-shaped boxes feature tapering sides and a raised lid resembling ancient stone tombs, a architectural profile popularised during the Regency and Victorian eras for decorative workboxes and caddies.

Craftsmen frequently utilised dark exotic hardwoods such as rosewood, ebony, or mahogany, embellishing the surfaces with inlaid bone, mother-of-pearl, ivory, or contrasting timber stringing.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original keyhole escutcheons, natural grain variation in the rosewood veneer, and light wear consistent with 19th-century age.

Position the box as a focal accessory on a sideboard, desk, or bookshelf, pairing dark timber textures with modern ceramics or neutral backdrops.

Keep the item in a stable climate away from direct sunlight or radiators to prevent veneer lifting, dusting regularly with a microfibre cloth and applying natural beeswax sparingly.
