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

Pioneered by Andre-Charles Boulle, this style features elaborate marquetry made of cut brass and tortoiseshell inlaid into ebonised surfaces, complemented by detailed gilt-bronze mounts.

Construction typically incorporates ebonised timber substrates, brass inlay, tortoiseshell veneer, and heavy cast gilt-bronze ormolu fittings.

Authentic pieces feature hinged fold-over tops, brass and tortoiseshell marquetry, serpentine shaping, cabriole legs, and precise hand-chased metalwork.

Positioned against a wall as entry console tables or placed symmetrically in a hallway, these dark ebonised and gilt pieces provide strong contrast in contemporary spaces.

Keep the furniture in a climate-controlled room to prevent brass and wood expansion, dust using a dry microfibre cloth, and protect surfaces from direct sunlight.
