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

Patented in the late nineteenth century by William Amberg, these cabinets revolutionised commercial record keeping. They introduced structured indexing drawers concealed behind protective lockable doors, becoming a staple of Victorian offices and financial institutions.

High-grade dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, and walnut were primarily selected for durability and stability. Internal mechanisms and exterior indexing hardware were typically cast from solid brass or stamped sheet metal.

Authentic pieces feature period joinery, original brass hardware with manufacturer stamps or patent dates, and naturally aged timber surfaces showing wear around handles and hinges.

These cabinets function effectively as practical storage units within a contemporary home office or study. Their structured internal compartments suit modern stationery, files, or media devices while providing architectural weight to the room.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish annually along the grain. Keep the cabinet away from direct heat sources and humid environments to prevent wood movement and joint separation.
