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

Popularised in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a tambour front filing cabinet features a flexible door constructed from thin wooden slats affixed to canvas, which glides along side tracks to open without requiring clearance space.

These cabinets were predominantly crafted from solid oak, walnut, or beech, using flexible woven canvas backings attached to interlocking timber slats alongside metal lock mechanisms.

Authentic period examples often feature original keyhole escutcheons, cast metal pulls, hand-fitted internal shelf grooves, and aged canvas backing along the inner side of the timber slats.

Position this vertical cabinet in a home office, hallway nook, or living area to serve as functional storage for paperwork, electronics, or supplies while adding rich wood character.

Maintain the wood with high-quality beeswax, and avoid forcing a tight door; applying dry paraffin wax along the wooden tracks will help keep the shutter operating smoothly.
