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

Designed during the 19th century, a brass bound writing box is a portable lap desk used for correspondence while travelling, containing compartments for inkwells, pens, and paper alongside a folding writing surface.

These boxes were constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, reinforced with flush brass corner brackets, brass straps, and steel screws designed to withstand frequent transport.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, flush brass fittings, period lock mechanisms, and evidence of natural age and oxidisation on the brass hardware and underside wood.

Place the box closed on an office desk, console table, or bookshelf to add architectural interest and historical context, using it as functional stationery storage.

Dust the exterior regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain, keeping brass fittings free from abrasive chemical polish.
