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 sarcophagus cellarette is a wooden chest designed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries to store and cool wine bottles, featuring a tapered body inspired by classical ancient sarcophagi.

They were traditionally crafted from hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, often fitted internally with lead or zinc linings to hold ice and prevent moisture leakage.

Authentic period pieces typically showcase classical architectural shaping, hand-carved details such as claw or paw feet, hand-cut dovetail joinery, and evidence of original metal lining or drainage components.

A cellarette functions as a low side table or decorative storage piece in a dining room, hallway, or living area, positioned alongside traditional or contemporary furnishings.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply clear beeswax polish periodically, keeping the timber clear of direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
