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 Louis XVI style secretaire cabinet is a writing desk featuring a drop-front flap or cabinet door above a table base, characterised by classical symmetry, geometric lines, and neoclassical decorative motifs popularised in late 18th-century France.

These pieces typically feature wood veneers such as kingwood, tulipwood, or rosewood over a solid timber core, decorated with floral marquetry and accented with gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts and gallery rails.

19th-century revival cabinets feature hand-chased gilt-bronze mounts, marquetry inlays showing age-appropriate wood shrinkage, dovetail-jointed drawers, and hand-cut screws or cast bronze fitments on the underside.

A Louis XVI secretaire functions as a focal piece in a study, entryway, or living area, pairing with neutral walls, minimalist upholstery, and modern artwork to create stylistic contrast.

Maintain a stable indoor humidity level to prevent veneer lifting, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, avoid direct sunlight exposure, and clean gilt-bronze mounts using non-abrasive methods to avoid removing original gilding.
