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

Popularised during the Georgian and Regency eras, a sarcophagus cellarette is a tapered wooden wine storage chest inspired by classical Egyptian and Roman forms, designed to store and cool wine bottles in formal dining spaces.

High-grade mahogany and flame mahogany veneers were predominantly used, frequently featuring lead or zinc inner linings, brass hardware, and heavy cast metal paw feet.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-cut dovetail joinery, original brass carrying handles, authentic oxidation on internal metal linings, and hand-carved or cast metal feet.

These historical storage pieces function effectively as standalone accent furniture in living rooms, foyers, or dining areas, serving as side tables or discrete liquor storage.

Preserve the timber surface by regularly dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, applying natural beeswax along the grain periodically, and maintaining stable humidity levels away from direct radiator heat.
