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.

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

A bible box is a small, portable wooden desk or storage chest traditionally used in the 16th and 17th centuries to securely hold family bibles, important documents, and writing materials.

Authentic period pieces are typically constructed from solid English oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged mortise and tenon framing, and often decorated with carved or inlaid ornamentation.

Authentication involves examining the timber grain, tool marks, hand- forged iron hinges, and the natural oxidisation or patina accumulated over centuries of age.

These versatile pieces can be placed on consoles, sideboards, or low tables to serve as distinctive storage for modern stationery or as an authentic focal point displaying decorative objects.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and periodically feeding the wood with traditional beeswax to nourish the historic finish.
