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

Originating in 18th-century France and widely produced through the 19th century, vitrines were designed as specialised display cabinets to showcase valuable porcelain, collectibles, and curiosities. The serpentine front features characteristic curving lines popular in Louis XV and Rococo design movements.

These pieces typically feature exotic timber veneers like kingwood or rosewood, intricately laid marquetry work, shaped bevelled or curved glass panels, and a fitted marble top. Cast bronze or brass ormolu mounts were applied to protect corners and add decorative detail.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, mercury-gilt or cast bronze mounts with natural patination, and hand-cut veneer work. The presence of original fabric linings, fitted glass shelves, and distinct hand-planed backboards further indicates 19th-century craftsmanship.

Placing a vitrine against a plain painted wall creates an elegant focal point while displaying contemporary ceramics or art glass inside offers a striking contrast between traditional woodwork and modern decor. It functions effectively in formal dining rooms, drawing rooms, or spacious hallways.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax sparingly to preserve the lustre of the kingwood veneer. Clean marble tops with a pH-neutral cleaner, avoid harsh polishing chemicals on the gilt ormolu, and clean the glass panels with a mild glass cleaner applied via a cloth.
