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 16th-century Europe, the dressoir served as a prominent display and storage piece in wealthy households, evolving from medieval trestle tables into structured cabinets with relief carving.

These pieces were constructed using solid European oak, hand-hewn mortise and tenon joints, oak pegs, and intricate hand-carved relief panels.

Authenticity is indicated by uneven hand-planed surfaces, timber shrinkage across the grain, aged iron or brass fittings, and original peg joinery.

Position the piece as a focal point against a plain plastered wall, paired with neutral floor coverings and understated contemporary lighting to highlight its architectural structure.

Maintain a stable room climate away from direct heat sources, dust regularly with a clean lint-free cloth, and apply natural beeswax sparingly to protect the timber surface.
