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

French Provincial armoires from the 18th century typically feature regional timber construction, gentle curves such as the chapeau de gendarme cornice, and decorative carvings or marquetry reflecting nature-inspired motifs.

Cabinetmakers frequently utilised native hardwoods including oak, walnut, chestnut, fruitwood, and yew, paired with wrought iron or steel hardware for hinges and key plates.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-hewn joinery, wooden peg construction rather than modern screws, irregular wood grain from hand-sawing, original iron locks, and honest wear around handle placements.

A substantial timber armoire works well as a focal piece in a bedroom, dining room, or entrance hall, offering concealed storage while adding warmth and historic texture against neutral walls.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft cloth, apply a high-grade beeswax once or twice annually, and maintain stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement.
