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.
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 the Netherlands during the Baroque period, a Dutch bombe cabinet features a distinctive outward-curving or bulging lower chest section, often ornamented with elaborate floral marquetry inlays and topped with a glazed display section.

Cabinetmakers crafted these pieces primarily from European walnut, oak cores, and fruitwood veneers, employing intricate marquetry inlays made of sycamore, holly, or bone, along with hand-cut glass panes and cast brass hardware.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-sawn timber drawer linings, hand-cut dovetail joints, original oak secondary woods, and characteristic sinuous Dutch bombe shaping with detailed floral, foliage, or urn motifs inlaid into the veneers.

Position the cabinet as a focal point against a neutral backdrop, using the illuminated glazed upper section to display blue-and-white porcelain, stoneware, or curated ceramics to contrast with the dark walnut timber.

Maintain stable humidity levels to prevent timber movement or veneer lifting, dust regularly with a soft lint-free cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, avoiding modern aerosol sprays.
