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 chemist display cabinet, or pharmacy vitrine, was traditionally manufactured during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries for commercial shopfitting to showcase remedies and apothecary goods securely while maintaining clear visibility for customers.

These cabinets were typically constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, fitted with glazed front doors, adjustable glass shelves, and mirrored back panels to reflect light.

Authentic examples often display original internal ladder racks for adjustable shelving, hand-cut joinery, mirrored backings with slight desilvering, and brass hardware such as small ring pulls or turn catches.

A pair of display cabinets can be mounted symmetrically on either side of a chimneypiece or positioned above a sideboard to display glassware, ceramics, or small collectables.

Dust the woodwork using a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly twice per year, ensuring glass cleaners are applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the unit to prevent timber damage.
