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.

This nineteenth-century Indian colonial cupboard is constructed from teak and bound with dark iron lattice strapping and riveted metal borders, presenting a dark brown colour and an industrial loft design vibe. The piece has two-tiered double doors fitted with sliding bolt latches, and stands on four simple square feet. The surface shows weathered iron hardware and natural signs of age commensurate with a century and a half of use in Rajasthan. Measuring 163 cm high, 76 cm wide, and 42 cm deep, the cupboard functions as a tall storage unit in a living space, hallway, or bedroom today, providing enclosed shelving behind its heavy metal-strapped doors.

FAQs

Originating from regions such as Rajasthan and Gujarat during the 19th century, these cupboards feature heavy hardwood frameworks reinforced with structural iron or brass strapping designed to secure valuables and textiles in traditional homes and havelis.

These cabinets were typically hand-crafted from dense native hardwoods, such as teak or rosewood, and reinforced with hand-forged iron lattice straps, iron rivets, and external sliding bolt latches for added durability and security.

Authentic 19th-century pieces exhibit signs of hand-forged ironwork, irregular hand-cut rivets, natural wear along structural joints, and historic oxidisation or patina across the metal straps and timber surfaces.

A tall iron-strapped cabinet functions well as a focal piece in an entryway, dining room, or living area, pairing effectively with neutral linen upholstery, warm timber floors, or industrial architectural details.

Dust the wooden surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish periodically, while lightly cleaning iron components with a dry brush or micro-wax to prevent rust and preserve the natural patina.
