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.

A campaign decanter box is a protective, fitted wooden chest designed for military officers and travellers during the 18th and 19th centuries to securely transport spirits and delicate glassware over long distances.

These sets were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, fitted with brass or iron lock plates, lined with printed paper or velvet, and contained hand-blown gilded glass bottles.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-blown glass with pontil marks on the base, stoppers custom-fitted to individual bottle necks, hand-cut dovetail joinery on the wooden box, and age-appropriate wear to gilding and metalwork.

An antique campaign box is best styled open on a sideboard, console table, or drinks trolley, serving as a functional bar accessory or decorative focal point in a dining room or study.

Dust the wooden box with a soft, dry cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly. Hand-wash glass decanters gently with warm water, avoiding abrasive cloths or friction over gilded areas to prevent gold leaf loss.
