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 primarily in Damascus during the Ottoman period and continuing into the early 20th century, Syrian inlaid furniture features hardwood frames decorated with hand-cut mother-of-pearl, bone, or contrasting wood tesserae in geometric and floral patterns.

These pieces are typically constructed from native hardwoods such as walnut or fruitwood, inset with natural mother-of-pearl shell and bone marquetry, and often incorporate turned mashrabiya spindle lattice panels.

Period pieces display hand-carved mortise-and-tenon joinery, subtle variations in the thickness and shape of the inlaid shell, and natural age-related darkening of the underlying timber.

Position the piece at the foot of a bed, within an entryway, or under a window bay to act as an architectural focal point that bridges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary textile decor.

Maintain the wood with a light application of natural microcrystalline wax, avoiding water or harsh chemicals that could loosen the hide glues holding the shell tesserae in place.
