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

A table snuff box is a communal container designed to sit on a dining table or sideboard, allowing hosts to offer pulverized tobacco to guests during social gatherings in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Craftsmen typically used high-grade metals such as sterling silver or brass, combined with natural organic materials including tortoise shell, animal horn, hardwood, and mother-of-pearl.

Authentic pieces generally display period silver hallmarks, hand-cut iron or brass screws, hand-chased metal fittings, and signs of wear consistent with age around hinges and contact surfaces.

Objects of this nature function well as desktop accessories, accent pieces on a library shelf, or displayed within a glass-fronted curiosity cabinet alongside other historic collectibles.

Keep organic materials away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent drying or cracking, and dust silver surfaces gently using a soft, non-abrasive cotton cloth.
