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

Originating in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, bible boxes were crafted as secure tabletop containers primarily intended to store the family Bible, legal documents, writing implements, and valuable household papers.

These boxes were typically constructed from solid quarter-sawn English oak using pegged joinery, hand-planed boards, and wrought iron hardware such as strap hinges and lockplates, often featuring carved low-relief front panels.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved relief decoration, visible pegged mortise and tenon or till joints, irregular saw marks on unpolished surfaces, and genuine age-related oxidisation around iron lockplates and hinges.

A carved oak box works as a focal point on a sideboard, hall console, or deep shelving unit, providing warm wood tones and rich tactile contrast when paired with contemporary art or minimalist decor.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, while keeping the item away from direct heat sources and sudden humidity fluctuations to prevent wood movement.
