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

Toleware spice boxes gained popularity in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as airtight, painted tinplate containers designed to protect costly culinary spices from light and moisture.

These tins were crafted from thin sheets of iron coated in tinplate, finished with dark asphaltum lacquer or coloured japanning, and frequently fitted with internal spice lids and integrated iron graters.

Authentic period pieces feature rolled metal edges, hand-soldered seams, stencilled compartment labels for traditional spices, and natural signs of age such as surface craquelure or mild oxidisation.

Displayed open on a kitchen island, sideboard, or dresser shelf, a lacquered spice box introduces rich historical texture and contrast against contemporary cabinetry.

Maintain the surface by dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners, solvent detergents, or abrasive waxes that degrade historic lacquer finishes.
