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

Originating in the 19th century, a mirror-back credenza is a low storage cabinet featuring an integrated mirrored superstructure designed to reflect light and display decorative items in formal dining or drawing rooms.

High-grade pieces were constructed from solid hardwoods like oak or mahogany, veneered with figured woods such as burr walnut, and accented with cast gilt-bronze or brass mounts and silvered glass mirrors.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-carved wood mouldings, original mercurial or early silvered glass mirrors, and cast bronze or brass mounts exhibiting natural oxidisation.

Place the piece as a focal point in a dining room, hallway, or reception room, pairing its detailed woodwork with neutral wall tones and minimal decor to balance the ornate silhouette.

Apply a natural beeswax polish along the wood grain using a soft cloth, dust metal mounts gently with a dry soft brush, and position the cabinet away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
