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

Originating in the 18th century, Dutch bombe marquetry furniture features a distinctive outward-curving lower section paired with intricate floral or figurative wood inlay techniques known as marquetry.

These cabinets typically utilise a walnut or oak frame decorated with contrasting wood veneers, such as boxwood or fruitwood, alongside hand-cut glass panes and cast brass drawer fittings.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn veneers, hand-dovetailed drawer joints, uneven historic glass, and natural patination or oxidation around brass mounts and carved claw-and-ball feet.

A marquetry vitrine serves as a focal piece in a dining room, hallway, or living area, pairing well with neutral wall tones to highlight the detailed wood inlay and glass-fronted display shelves.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth, applying beeswax sparingly once or twice a year, and keeping the item away from direct sunlight, radiators, or moist environments.
