Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

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.

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.

Originating in Flanders during the 17th century, a Flemish table cabinet is a compact, ornate chest designed to sit atop a table or desk. These cabinets were traditionally crafted to store valuable items, letters, or specimens within private collector cabinets of curiosities.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense hardwoods such as ebony, kingwood, walnut, and rosewood, often featuring fine veneers over an oak or pine carcass. Ormolu or brass mounts, intricate escutcheons, and moulded profiles were commonly added for structural integrity and decorative contrast.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, uneven hand-planed timber surfaces on unexposed backs, and natural oxidisation around original metalwork. Additionally, genuine ebony veneers from this era display fine age cracks and a distinct patina that modern finishes cannot replicate.

Position the cabinet as a focal piece atop a console table, sideboard, or executive desk alongside structured modern art or contemporary brass accessories. Its deep tones and architectural silhouette contrast effectively against neutral, light-coloured walls.

Keep the cabinet away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or cracking of the wood veneers. Dust softly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality microcrystalline wax sparingly once a year to maintain its lustre without altering the finish.
