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

Originally designed to occupy the wall space or pier between tall windows in 18th and 19th-century homes, a pier cabinet is a low, narrow display cupboard or bookcase. These pieces frequently feature decorative wood veneers, glass doors, and ornate metal mounts.

Regency and 19th-century pier cabinets commonly utilise walnut or mahogany veneers, often showcasing burr grain patterns and marquetry inlays. Cast brass or gilt-bronze ormolu mounts are attached to the exterior, while interiors are frequently lined with velvet or silk.

Authentic period pier cabinets feature hand-cut joinery, original glass panes with slight visual distortions, and hand-finished veneers showing natural patination. The metal mounts should display age-appropriate wear and oxidisation around the fixings.

A pier cabinet functions as a focal point in a hallway, living room, or study to display curated ceramics and books. Placing contemporary artwork above the cabinet creates a balanced juxtaposition between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax sparingly to preserve the veneer depth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners on gilt-metal mounts, keeping them free from moisture to prevent tarnish.
