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.
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.
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.

A Vernis Martin vitrine is a glazed display cabinet inspired by a Japanese-style lacquering process perfected by the Martin brothers in 18th-century France, typically featuring gilded mounts, glass panel doors, and decorative detailing.

Traditional French vitrines feature hardwood veneers such as mahogany or kingwood, complemented by cast brass or gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts, clear glass shelving, and fabric-lined interiors.

Authentic pieces exhibit finely cast and chased brass or ormolu mounts, precise cabinet-making joints, tailored interior fabric linings, and hand-applied finishes or gilded details.

Place the cabinet against a neutral wall in a dining room, hallway, or living space to house curated ceramics, glassware, or books, introducing warmth and historical character.

Dust timber surfaces and metal mounts using a soft, dry cloth. Clean the glass panels using a lint-free microfibre cloth lightly dampened with a dedicated glass cleaner, avoiding direct contact with gilded brass.
