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

A French shop counter, historically known as a comptoir, was constructed for commercial spaces such as bakeries, general stores, and pharmacies throughout 19th-century France to provide a sturdy transactional surface with rear storage.

These counters were predominantly crafted from local timber softwoods like pine or hardwoods such as oak, finished with durable milk paints or oil-based pigments designed to withstand constant daily contact.

Authentic pieces exhibit logical wear patterns along the front surface where customers stood, genuine paint loss near high-friction edges, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and an open or utility-focused reverse side.

A shop counter functions as a central kitchen island, a room-dividing console in open-plan living areas, or a reception desk, providing structural presence and contrasting texture against contemporary fixtures.

Clean painted surfaces using a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth without solvent-based chemical cleaners, and apply a neutral clear beeswax paste to seal original paint and protect exposed timber.
