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 19th century, Victorian credenzas and sideboards served as both storage and display furniture for formal dining and reception rooms. These pieces often featured decorative veneers, mirrored backs, and ornamental details reflecting revived historical styles such as Renaissance and Louis XVI.

Craftsmen frequently utilised decorative burr walnut veneers applied over solid pine or oak carcases, often paired with ebonised trim, gilt-brass mounts, and hand-painted porcelain plaques. Mirrored plate glass sections and adjustable wooden shelving were also common structural features.

Authentic 19th-century examples display hand-cut dovetail joints, thick wood veneers, original mercury or silvered mirror glass, and natural wear to brass fittings and ebonised highlights. Examining the rear panels reveals rough-sawn timber and period fasteners.

Balance the ornate detailing of the wood by placing modern ceramic vessels, contemporary artwork, or understated lighting on the display surfaces. Positioning the piece against a neutral or boldly painted wall creates a focal anchor within a dining room or hallway.

Dust the wooden surfaces regularly with a dry lint-free cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly along the grain once or twice annually. Position the item away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent veneer movement or discolouration.
