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.

Tunbridge Ware is a form of decorative inlaid woodwork, characteristic of Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells in Kent, produced primarily during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Craftsmen glued together thin strips of natural-coloured timbers into geometric or tessellated mosaic patterns, which were then sliced crosswise into veneers and applied to wooden box structures.

Original pieces feature natural timber hues rather than painted finishes, geometric or mosaic inlay designs, original brass or iron hinges, and construction materials typical of 19th-century English woodwork.

Placed on a sideboard, desk, or bookshelf, a wooden sewing casket functions as a decorative accent piece while providing concealed storage for small items.

Keep the box away from direct sunlight, central heating sources, and excess humidity, dusting regularly with a dry soft cloth and applying clear beeswax sparingly.
