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

Popularised during the 19th century in France, a cave a liqueur is a specialised portable decanter box or tantalus designed to hold liqueur bottles and matching glasses for serving spirits to guests.

These cases were typically crafted from fine woods such as ebony, rosewood, or thuya burr, often decorated with brass marquetry, gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts, and fitted with lead crystal decanters and glasses inside.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature hand-cut crystal decanters, gilded embellishments, precise joinery, and period-correct brass mechanisms or locks, with maker marks sometimes etched on glass bases or stamped on gilt mounts.

Display the box open on a sideboard, bar cart, or console table to showcase the interior crystalware, creating an elegant focal point for formal entertaining spaces.

Clean the crystal elements using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoid washing in hot water to prevent thermal shock, and gently dust the wooden exterior with a soft cloth while avoiding harsh polishes on gilt mounts.
