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 bread and cheese cupboard, historically known in Wales as a cwbwrdd bara caws, is a traditional freestanding food safe featuring ventilated lattice or spindle doors designed to keep perishables airy and dry before domestic refrigeration.

These cupboards were typically constructed from regional softwoods like pine or hardwoods like oak, assembled with mortise and tenon joinery, and fitted with pierced timber grilles, brass wire, or tin mesh for air circulation.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut ventilation apertures, pegged timber joinery, hand-forged iron hardware, and evidence of historic paint layers or authentic wear along the base and door edges.

A ventilated pantry cupboard functions well in a modern kitchen or dining space, providing characterful storage for crockery, dry goods, or linens while acting as a textural focal point.

Dust the surface lightly with a dry, lint-free cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleansers or excess water to protect the delicate historic paint layers and prevent timber movement.
