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 tambour front filing cabinet features a flexible rolling door constructed from thin wooden slats affixed to a canvas backing, allowing the front to slide open along interior tracks to save floor space in traditional office environments.

These cabinets were primarily built using solid oak or walnut for the exterior housing and flexible slats, backed with heavy cotton canvas, and fitted with brass, iron, or steel hardware for handles and lock mechanisms.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-assembled canvas slat backings, original metal cup handles or keyholes, traditional joinery along the casing, and subtle track wear along the interior side channels where the tambour operates.

A vertical tambour cabinet functions effectively in modern home offices for concealed document storage, or in living rooms and hallways as a slender standing column to organise everyday household items.

Dust the exterior slatted surface regularly with a dry cloth, and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically to protect the oak finish; ensure the side tracks remain clean and avoid liquid oils that could compromise the underlying fabric backing.
