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.

This 19th-century Victorian antique veterinary cabinet takes the form of a compact portable medicine chest measuring 27 cm high, 22 cm wide, and 18 cm deep. The piece is constructed from dark brown mahogany with a smooth finish and a well-fitted interior that includes bottles and jars, supported by twin panelled doors secured with a brass escutcheon and key. Additional hardware includes a curved brass carrying handle mounted on the top surface, brass hinges along the left side, and simple raised wooden mouldings along the base perimeter. Placed upon a sideboard top within a gentleman's library, this traditional medical chest serves as a decorative storage object or display piece for a collection of antique glass bottles and jars. The portable design allows the cabinet to be moved easily between rooms while maintaining a sturdy presence on any flat wooden surface.

FAQs

Veterinary cabinets were designed during the nineteenth century as portable storage units for travelling practitioners, holding field instruments, bandages, and glass medicine bottles.

These chests were typically constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany or walnut to withstand travel, fitted with brass carrying handles, hinged doors, and velvet or felt-lined interior compartments.

Authentic examples often display hand-dovetailed joints, period-correct brass escutcheon plates, original lock mechanisms, and wear around the handle and base consistent with transport.

Positioned on a sideboard, desk, or bookshelf, compact wooden chests function as decorative storage boxes that add texture and historical interest to contemporary rooms.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically along the grain to protect the wood finish, avoiding direct heat sources and chemical cleansers.
