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

An early 19th-century open top cabinet typically combines open upper shelvingoften featuring slatted divisions or display rackswith a solid enclosed cupboard base. Created during the Late Georgian and Regency periods, these functional storage pieces were designed for dining rooms, pantries, or libraries to store and display household items.

Cabinets from this era were primarily constructed using dense, high-grade timbers such as West Indian mahogany. Key construction hallmarks include hand-cut dovetail joints, solid oak or pine drawer linings, brass fittings, and fine inlaid boxwood or ebony stringing detailing.

Authentic period mahogany pieces exhibit signs of age such as hand-planed back panels, irregular hand-cut dovetails, and natural wood oxidation resulting in a deep patina. Original brass escutcheons, period-appropriate lock mechanisms, and minor surface wear near the base or handles also indicate genuine age.

In modern spaces, an open top cabinet serves as an ideal architectural focal point in a kitchen, dining space, or hallway. The open upper shelves can be curated with contemporary ceramics, glassware, or books to contrast against the rich timber tones of the lower cabinet.

Maintain mahogany by dusting regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to nourish the wood, avoiding silicone-based sprays and direct sunlight or proximity to radiators which can dry out the timber.
