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

Demilune side cabinets from the Louis XVI period feature a semi-circular footprint designed to fit neatly against a wall. They are recognised by geometric or floral marquetry, gilt-bronze mounts, straight tapered legs, and fitted marble tops.

Craftsmen used a oak or pine carcass veneered with exotic hardwoods such as kingwood, rosewood, tulipwood, and walnut. Decorative elements often included chased ormolu mounts and imported marble slabs for the tops.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints, original oak drawer linings, hand-chased bronze mounts, and irregular saw marks on the carcass back. The marble tops often retain hand-chiseled undersides matching the exact outline of the cabinet.

Position them symmetrically in a hallway, dining room, or drawing room to create balance. Contrast the detailed woodwork by hanging contemporary artwork above the marble top or pairing them with minimal lighting fixtures.

Dust wood surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply paste wax sparingly along the grain. Clean marble tops using a pH-neutral cleaner to prevent etching, and keep the furniture away from direct heat sources to protect the veneer.
