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.

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

Emerging in the mid-to-late 19th century, Victorian dome top boxes are decorative storage caskets characterised by a curved lid and metalwork strapwork. They were frequently used as trinket boxes, stationery caskets, or jewellery storage within affluent households.

These boxes were constructed from hardwoods such as Coromandel or rosewood, lined with fabric, and decorated with pierced brass strapwork, escutcheon plates, and polished brass studs.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut brass mounts, natural patinated wood finishes, and hand-fitted brass pins. Modern reproductions often show uniform machine-cut metalwork and modern screws.

Position the casket on a console table, desk, or bookshelf in a study or hallway. The contrast between dark timber, polished brass, and clean contemporary surfaces creates an understated focal point.

Dust the exterior with a dry microfibre cloth and polish the wood with natural beeswax along the grain. Avoid chemical brass polishes that might seep into the timber, causing oxidisation or degrading the finish.
