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.

FAQs

Maintain the timber by avoiding direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations, applying microcrystalline wax sparingly, and cleaning only with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth.

Such pieces can be displayed as sculptural objects on credenzas or sideboards, introducing rich timber textures and historical gravitas into traditional or transitional schemes.

Authenticity is determined by examining secondary woods, hand-cut dovetailing, period-appropriate brass cast locks and hinges, natural timber oxidisation, and the presence of internal slotted partitions designed for flatware.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense tropical hardwoods like mahogany, often featuring curved serpentine or bow fronts, hand-dovetailed joints, and elaborate cast brass hardware including escutcheons and carrying handles.

George II knife boxes gained prominence in elite British dining rooms during the mid-18th century as dining habits evolved to include multiple courses of cutlery, requiring secure and decorative storage on sideboards.
