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

A secretaire a abattant is a tall French writing cabinet featuring a vertical drop-front panel that lowers to create a writing surface while revealing a fitted interior of drawers and pigeonholes.

These cabinets are constructed using dense hardwoods like mahogany or rosewood, frequently adorned with marquetry inlays, gilt-bronze mounts, and topped with a solid marble slab.

Authentic pieces from this period exhibit classical motifs such as urns or caryatids, heavy brass or ormolu mounts, hand-cut dovetail joinery within internal drawers, and balanced architectural proportions.

Position the piece against a focal wall in a study, library, or drawing room, allowing the deep timber tones and marquetry details to contrast with modern neutral backdrop tones.

Dust the surfaces regularly using a soft, dry cloth, apply beeswax sparingly to the timber sections, and promptly wipe any spills from the marble top to avoid surface staining.
