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

Popular in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, concealed erotic snuff boxes feature a standard outer lid and a hidden sliding or secondary compartment containing a hand-painted miniature scene.

Manufacturers primarily used compressed papier-mache finished with multiple coats of varnish, creating a light, durable lacquer surface ideal for oil painting.

Authentic period pieces display fine surface crazing across the varnish layer, hand-painted artwork rather than modern prints, and often feature red or gold painted catalogue numbers on the interior.

These small decorative objects function well displayed on a stack of reference books, inside a glass cabinet, or set on an office desk alongside metal accessories.

Keep lacquered papier-mache items in stable environmental conditions away from direct heat and sunlight, dusting them gently with a dry microfibre cloth without using liquid cleaners.
