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.

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 vitrine is a glazed display cabinet popularised in 18th-century France, designed to showcase porcelain, curiosities, and fine collectibles behind glass panes.

These cabinets typically feature exotic wood veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, or walnut, accented with floral marquetry, curved glass panels, and gilded bronze ormolu mounts.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved joinery, cast bronze ormolu fittings with natural patination, intricate marquetry inlays, and curved glass panes showing slight historical imperfections.

Place the cabinet against a neutral wall to let the intricate brass and marquetry details stand out, filling it sparingly with ceramics, glass art, or curated books.

Dust the wooden surfaces gently with a soft dry cloth, clean glass with ammonia-free solutions, and avoid polishing the gilt bronze mounts with harsh chemicals that strip historical patination.
