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

Designed during the nineteenth century, music cabinets were specialised items of furniture crafted to store bound sheet music and loose manuscripts near a piano in domestic drawing rooms.

These cabinets were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, featuring dovetailed joinery, glazed or panelled doors, and often brass hardware or castors.

Authentic pieces generally display period details like hand-cut joinery, original brass fitments, historical presentation plaques, and specialized shallow shelving tailored specifically to sheet music dimensions.

In contemporary spaces, a music cabinet functions effectively as an accent storage unit, a dedicated cabinet for vinyl records, or an architectural focal point in a hallway or study.

Routine maintenance involves dusting with a dry microfiber cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish annually, while avoiding direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber warping.
