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 16th-century France, the armoire initially served as a secure cabinet for storing armour and weaponry. By the 18th century, it evolved into a central household storage vessel for textiles, clothing, and valuables, reflecting regional cabinetmaking traditions.

These cabinets were typically built using regional hardwoods such as walnut, oak, or fruitwood, assembled with pegged mortise and tenon joints. Features often included hand-planed back panels, hand-forged iron escutcheons and hinges, and raised geometric door panels.

Authentic period armoires exhibit irregular tool marks, hand-cut dovetail joinery, and natural shrinkage or movement in the timber framing. Painted or gilded surfaces from this era generally show layered wear, craquelure, and authentic patination around handles and edges.

A substantial French armoire functions well as a focal piece in a bedroom, entryway, or living space. It can be paired with neutral, contemporary decor to allow its architectural scale, dark finish, and panel details to create contrast.

Clean the surface regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical sprays or water. Maintain stable humidity levels indoors to prevent the timber frame from swelling or shrinking, which can disturb painted or gilded highlights.
