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

Stationery cabinets became prominent during the Victorian and Edwardian eras as personal letter writing expanded. Designed to sit atop writing desks, these boxes were manufactured to keep correspondence tools, paper, envelopes, and ink organised and locked securely.

These cabinets were predominantly crafted from hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak. Decorative accents often included fine boxwood or satinwood stringing, brass hinges, escutcheons, and leather or velvet linings within internal compartments.

Authentic pieces from around 1900 typically show hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass locks or escutcheons, and natural wear along the base and interior dividers. The wood grain usually exhibits oxidation consistent with age, alongside hand-applied polish.

Place the cabinet on a modern executive desk, console table, or hallway side cabinet to create a focal point. It functions effectively as a decorative storage container for mail, keys, or contemporary office accessories while adding historical warmth.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or warping. Clean the surface gently with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the original patina.
