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.
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.
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.

Art Deco vanity cases emerged during the 1920s and 1930s as portable containers designed to hold cosmetic items such as powder, lipstick, and mirrors. They reflect the streamlined geometric aesthetics, industrial precision, and luxury materials characteristic of the period.

These items were typically crafted from solid silver, silver plate, gold, brass, or lacquer, often featuring engine-turned geometric patterns. Closures frequently incorporated gemstones, synthetic cabochons, or bakelite accents.

Authentic pieces generally display hallmark stamps or makers marks, precise geometric engine turning, and period-appropriate internal compartments or spring catches. Wear consistent with age around hinges and catches also distinguishes genuine antique examples from modern reproductions.

A vanity case can be displayed on a dressing table, tray, or bedside table as a decorative accessory. It also serves as a focal point within a curated glass display cabinet alongside vintage jewellery or perfume bottles.

Wipe the exterior gently with a dry microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. Avoid harsh chemical polishes or submerging the piece in liquid, especially if it contains internal fabric linings, mirrors, or delicate spring mechanisms.
