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

A French bijouterie or vitrine is a glazed display cabinet designed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to showcase valuable curiosities, jewellery, and fine porcelain while protecting them from dust.

Traditional construction typically incorporates fine hardwoods such as mahogany, kingwood, walnut, or satinwood, often decorated with parquetry or marquetry inlays, glass panes, and cast brass or ormolu mounts.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut joinery, hand-cast brass mounts with crisp chased detailing, original glass showing slight irregularities, and authentic aged patina on interior woods and brasswork.

Position the cabinet as a focal point in a hallway, living area, or dining space, using its interior shelves to curate modern ceramics, sculptures, or books to contrast against the decorative woodwork.

Clean glass panes with a soft microfibre cloth slightly dampened with water, polish timber surfaces using natural beeswax, avoid harsh chemical cleaners, and position the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
