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 vitrine is a glazed display cabinet originated in France during the 18th century, designed to house and protect fine porcelain, collectibles, and decorative objects while keeping them fully visible.

Cabinetmakers of this era frequently constructed vitrines using timber veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, or mahogany, decorated with parquetry inlays, cast ormolu (gilt-bronze) mounts, and glass panels.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-finished parquetry veneers, cast ormolu fittings attached with original threaded screws, fabric-lined interiors, and age-consistent wear to the timber frame.

Position the cabinet against a neutral wall in a living room, dining room, or hallway to serve as a focal point, filling the glass shelves with curated collections of ceramics, glassware, or small sculptures.

Clean the wood veneer and metal mounts with a dry, soft lint-free cloth, apply glass cleaner onto a cloth rather than directly onto the glass, and maintain a stable room temperature away from direct sunlight.
