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 crafted in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, collectors cabinets were designed to store, organise, and display natural history specimens, coins, or medals. These specialised pieces feature multiple shallow drawers housed behind protective panelled doors.

Edwardian specimen cabinets were predominantly constructed using solid hardwoods such as English oak, mahogany, or walnut. Drawers often incorporated secondary timbers like pine or mahogany for linings, alongside brass drop handles and lock mechanisms.

Authentic late Victorian and Edwardian cabinets exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, original brass locks or handles, and naturally aged timber showing medullary rays in quarter-sawn oak. The absence of modern screws or synthetic backings is also key.

A tabletop specimen cabinet functions effectively placed on a console table, desk, or sideboard to store jewellery, stationery, or small accoutrements. It introduces historical character and timber texture to contemporary living spaces or study areas.

Keep the timber clean by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year along the direction of the grain. Avoid placement near direct heat sources or radiators to prevent shrinkage and warping.
