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.

This 1920s commercial display counter is constructed from warm brown mahogany and clear glass. The pentagonal cabinet incorporates a glass top, three glazed side panels, a central glass shelf, and a red velvet-lined interior base within a framed wooden structure, supported by block feet. The piece measures 91.5 cm high, 120 cm wide, and 58 cm deep. Originally manufactured for retail environments such as jewellery or watch stores, this piece provides structured vertical storage and visibility. In a contemporary domestic setting, the counter functions as a display surface within a study, library, or living space to exhibit collections, curios, or personal items.

FAQs

Early 20th-century shop display counters typically feature solid timber framing, glazed tops and sides, and fabric-lined interiors to enhance product visibility in retail spaces.

High-grade hardwoods such as mahogany or oak were combined with thick float glass panels, brass fittings, and plush fabric bases like velvet or baize.

Authentic counters usually exhibit hand-finished timber joinery, original plate glass with minor surface wear, polished metal clips, and solid wood backing panels with access doors.

These cabinets serve as focal points in dining rooms or hallways, ideal for displaying curio collections, ceramics, or glassware while adding historical character.

Clean glass panels using non-ammonia cleaners applied to a microfiber cloth rather than sprayed directly, dust mahogany surfaces regularly, and vacuum velvet linings gently using a soft brush attachment.
