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.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, rapid commercial expansion led to the development of systematic document storage solutions, such as the Amberg letter filing system, which replaced traditional letter presses and flat files with indexed, accessible desktop and standing cabinets.

These units were predominantly constructed from hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, selected for their durability and grain. Hardware typically comprised brass, cast iron, or stamped metal handles and label holders.

Authentic pieces usually feature solid wood panelling, hand-cut dovetail or box joints on drawers, stamped patent marks or makers nameplates on the metalwork, and period-appropriate wear along the drawer runners.

A desktop filing unit can be placed atop a contemporary office desk or side console to serve as functional storage for stationary, mail, or personal documents while providing a warm wood contrast in a modern scheme.

Clean the wooden surface using a dry soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to preserve the natural finish. Metal fittings can be gently dusted, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that strip historical patina.
