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 Kashmir region of Northern India, these decorative caskets developed as a major craft industry during the 18th and 19th centuries, heavily influenced by Persian artisans. They were created both for regional use and for export to European markets interested in Oriental decor.

These boxes were primarily carved from local hardwoods or papier-mache. The surfaces were then layered with gesso, painted using natural mineral pigments, and sealed with protective varnish or lacquer.

Authentic period pieces feature dense floral or avian motifs, hand-carved relief details, and natural craquelure in the lacquer finish. Evidence of natural pigment oxidisation and minor wear along the base and corners indicates historical age.

A decorated wooden box functions well as a focal accent on a coffee table, console, or shelf. It can be paired with neutral textures like stone or linen to highlight its detailed polychrome patterns.

Dust gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth without liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals. Keep the object away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to prevent cracking or peeling of the painted finish.
