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 Tunbridge Wells, Kent, Tunbridge ware features detailed wooden marquetry or parquetry tessellations on small timber items, such as portable writing slopes designed to hold stationery and writing instruments.

Craftsmen utilised natural, un-dyed local and exotic timbers including yew, holly, sycamore, walnut, and rosewood to create contrasting geometric patterns and mosaic borders.

Genuine pieces feature intricate mosaic or parquetry veneers made from tiny wooden strips glued together, fine brass escutcheons, and visible natural wood grain variations without synthetic stains.

Position the writing slope closed on an office desk, console table, or library shelf as a refined decorative focal point that introduces historical depth to contemporary spaces.

Keep the box away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish periodically using a soft lint-free cloth.
