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

Originating from the Italian Renaissance term for a sideboard used to test food for safety, by the mid-19th century the credenza evolved in Britain into a decorative focal piece for formal dining and drawing rooms, designed to display fine porcelain and glassware.

Victorian credenzas typically feature solid hardwood frames veneered with figured cuts such as burr walnut or mahogany, fitted with silvered mirror plates, hand-blown float glass panels, and carved timber embellishments.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved details, thick book-matched burr walnut veneers over oak or pine carcasses, hand-cut dovetail joinery inside drawers, and natural age-related patination on the timber and glass edges.

Place a credenza as a anchor piece along a main wall, balancing its rich timber tones against modern neutral paint schemes, understated contemporary artwork, or minimalist table lamps.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or veneer cracking, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-grade beeswax paste annually along the grain.
