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

During the Victorian era, cabinetmakers frequently drew inspiration from 18th-century Sheraton and Hepplewhite designs, incorporating refined satinwood stringing, astragal glazed doors, and broken-arch swan neck pediments onto mahogany carcasses.

These storage pieces were crafted predominantly from solid mahogany and mahogany veneers, featuring hand-fitted glass panes set within wooden glazing bars, brass drop handles, and decorative boxwood or satinwood string inlay.

Look for hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, original brass lever locks, subtle irregularities or slight air bubbles in the antique glass, and hand-carved detail along the cornices and bracket feet.

Position the tall wooden structure against neutral-toned walls alongside contemporary artwork, using the glazed upper section to display a mix of ceramic objects and curated books to balance traditional period detail with modern design.

Dust wood surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply natural beeswax polish periodically along the grain. Keep the piece away from direct radiators and sunlight to prevent veneer movement and discolouration.
