Archival Detail
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 letterboxes typically feature clean geometric lines, stepped borders, and streamlined forms that emerged during the 1920s and 1930s. They prioritise functional elegance, replacing ornate Victorian floral embellishments with bold, symmetrical profiles.

Traditional letter plates were predominantly cast in solid brass, bronze, or cast iron to withstand external weather exposure. Higher-end twentieth-century examples feature heavy cast construction with threaded steel mounting bolts for secure attachment through timber doors.

Authentic period brass hardware often displays subtle surface casting variations, hand-machined fixings, and historical patination on unexposed reverse edges. Authentic items typically feature heavy-gauge metal and traditional threaded fixing studs rather than modern face-fix wood screws.

An Art Deco brass letterbox serves as an architectural detail when mounted on painted wooden front doors, particularly in dark navy, forest green, or black tones. Pairing it with complementary brass door knockers and numerals creates a cohesive entrance aesthetic.

Maintain polished brass by regularly wiping the surface with a soft cloth and applying a specialised metal polish to remove oxidisation. To preserve a natural aged patina, avoid abrasive cleaners and apply a thin layer of microcrystalline wax.
