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.

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 Victorian ebonised marquetry credenza is a 19th-century decorative sideboard characteristically finished in dark or black-dyed wood, featuring elaborate marquetry inlays and gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts inspired by French Louis XVI styles.

These pieces are constructed from timber frames coated in black stain or lacquer to simulate ebony, inlaid with contrasting fruitwoods or boxwood for the marquetry, and finished with cast brass or bronze mounts and glass door panels.

Authentic pieces feature period construction details such as hand-cut dovetail joints, original curved glass, cast bronze mounts with aged oxidation, and intricate wood veneer marquetry cut by hand rather than mass-produced by machines.

Position the credenza as a focal anchor along a main wall, balancing its intricate dark detail by pairing it with clean-lined modern art, neutral wall paint, and minimalist contemporary lighting.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid placing the item near direct heat sources or in fluctuating humidity to prevent veneer lifting, and clean metal mounts gently without harsh chemical polishers.
