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

Originally designed to occupy the narrow wall space between windows, a pier cabinet is a low or tall upright storage piece with glazed display sections or solid panel doors, traditionally executed with decorative timber veneers and metal mounts.

Late Victorian pier cabinets commonly utilise timber veneers such as satinwood, walnut, or rosewood, paired with gilt-bronze ormolu mounts, mirrored backings, glass panels, and hand-painted porcelain plaques.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, secondary timbers like oak or mahogany inside drawer linings, cast ormolu fittings with natural oxidisation, and hand-painted ceramic inserts.

Positioned in alcoves, hallways, or flanking a doorway, pier cabinets function as focal points for housing curated porcelain, glassware, or books against contemporary neutral walls.

Satinwood furniture should be positioned away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid veneer movement, while gilt metal mounts require light dusting with a dry cloth without abrasive chemical cleaners.
