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

Named after Andre-Charles Boulle, this technique involves inlaying brass and tortoiseshell into wood veneer to create intricate arabesque patterns, commonly found on 19th-century French vitrines and cabinets.

Authentic pieces generally feature brass inlay, natural tortoiseshell veneer, ebonised timber, glass panels, and gilded bronze or ormolu mounts along the edges and corners.

Authentic 19th-century Boulle furniture displays precise brass inlay fitted flush into tortoiseshell, complemented by cast gilded bronze mounts with detailed hand chasing.

Flanking a doorway, fireplace, or large wall mirror with a pair of vitrines introduces symmetry and historical contrast against modern, neutral backdrops.

Maintain stable interior humidity to prevent brass and tortoiseshell veneers from lifting, dust gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoid applying harsh liquid solvents.
