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.

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 semainier is a traditional French tall, narrow chest of drawers featuring seven distinct drawers, historically designed to hold a weeks supply of linen or clothing items for each day.

Traditional semainiers were crafted using fine hardwoods such as kingwood, walnut, or mahogany, often embellished with detailed parquetry veneer, gilt bronze mounts, and capped with a marble top.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original marble tops with hand-finished underside profiling, cast ormolu hardware exhibiting natural oxidisation, and secondary timbers like oak or pine inside the drawers.

Due to its slender footprint and tall vertical proportions, a semainier functions effectively in tight alcoves, narrow hallways, or dressing areas as an elegant storage accent alongside contemporary artwork.

Protect the wood veneer by keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources, clean timber with a soft dry cloth, and apply a non-silicone beeswax sparingly while wiping marble surfaces immediately with a pH-neutral cleaner.
