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

Apprentice pieces, known historically in France as masterwork samples, were crafted by cabinetmakers to demonstrate technical proficiency in joinery, proportion, and finishing prior to achieving guild status.

These pieces typically feature solid timber construction such as pine, fruitwood, or walnut, constructed with hand-cut joinery, small turned wooden handles, and hand-silvered glass for attached mirrors.

Authentic examples display full-scale joinery techniques scaled down, including hand-planed drawer runners, period-accurate oxidisation on internal wood surfaces, and original paint displaying natural age craquelure.

Small-scale cabinet furniture serves as functional storage for jewellery or small items on a dressing table, console, or sideboard surface, adding historical depth to modern decor schemes.

Maintain the piece by dusting with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent paint flaking or timber movement, and avoiding liquid chemical cleaners.
