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 Vernis Martin display cabinet is a French-style glazed vitrine incorporating a specific japanning lacquer technique developed in the 18th century, characterised by gilded highlighting and hand-painted pastoral scenes on wood panels.

These vitrines were typically constructed using exotic veneers such as kingwood or rosewood over an oak carcass, adorned with cast ormolu mounts, serpentine glass panels, and plush velvet-lined interiors.

Authentic pieces feature detailed gilt-bronze ormolu mounts attached with small hand-turned screws, hand-painted panels showing subtle brushwork under varnish, and curved drawn or mouth-blown glass side panels.

Place the cabinet as a focal feature in a dining room, drawing room, or wide hallway, using its glass shelves to display curated porcelain, glassware, or small sculptural objects alongside contemporary decor.

Dust the timber veneer and lacquered panels regularly using a dry microfibre cloth, avoid exposure to direct heat or sunlight, and clean glass surfaces with a non-ammonia glass cleaner sprayed directly onto a rag.
