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

A Victorian travelling vanity case, also known as a dressing box, was a portable wooden container designed to hold personal grooming items, cosmetics, and jewellery during travel in the 19th century.

These boxes were constructed from fine hardwoods like coromandel, rosewood, or mahogany, often featuring brass edging, glass bottles with silver lids, and velvet or silk interior linings.

Authentic Victorian coromandel boxes display distinct dark, contrasting grain patterns, brass corner bindings, period lock mechanisms, and fitted compartments containing original glass vanity accessories.

Place the box displayed open or closed on a bedroom dressing table, console, or bedside table to serve as a functional organiser for small accessories and jewellery.

Dust the exterior wood with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly, avoiding contact with velvet linings, which should be gently cleaned using a soft brush.
