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.
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.
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.

A hotte de vendange is a traditional back-carried wicker or wooden basket historically used by grape pickers in French vineyards during the autumn harvest.

These baskets were typically crafted from woven willow switches or split hazel, reinforced with a sturdy wooden spine and framework, often made from chestnut, to withstand heavy loads.

Authentic pieces display hand-woven construction, naturally aged oxidisation on the wicker, wear around the leather strap attachment points, and a supportive wooden base.

A wicker hotte makes a striking architectural feature when placed in a fireplace alcove or hallway corner, often used to display dried flowers, firewood, or rolled blankets.

Dust regularly using a soft brush or vacuum attachment, keep away from direct heat sources to prevent brittle splitting, and lightly apply linseed oil if the fibres become overly dry.
