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 Dutch marquetry bombe chest is an 18th-century style storage piece originating in the Netherlands, characterised by its outward-swelling (bombe) lower profile and floral wood inlays known as marquetry.

These pieces were typically constructed from an oak or pine carcass veneered with figured walnut, fruitwood inlays, and cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut floral and foliate marquetry, hand-dovetailed drawer joinery, natural oxidisation on the brassware, and age-related wear to the veneer surface.

A marquetry chest functions as a focal statement piece in an entryway, hallway, or living room, ideally paired with simple wall art or a mirror above to balance the detailed wood inlay.

Keep the chest away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent the wood veneer from lifting, dust with a soft dry cloth, and apply high-grade beeswax annually to preserve the finish.
