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 Vernis Martin vitrine is a glazed display cabinet featuring decorative painted lacquer panels, inspired by the 18th-century Japanning technique developed by the Martin brothers in France.

These cabinets typically feature a hardwood framework, shaped glass panels, cast ormolu (gilt bronze) mounts, hand-painted oil panels, and velvet lining.

Authentic pieces feature detailed hand-painted pastoral or romantic scenes on curved lacquer panels, cast gilt-bronze mounts with precise chasing, and joinery consistent with 19th-century cabinetmaking.

A French vitrine serves as a focal piece in a hallway or reception room, ideal for displaying curated collections of porcelain, glassware, or small sculpted objects.

Clean the glass with a lint-free cloth, dust the wooden framework and gilt mounts gently with a soft brush, and avoid direct sunlight or high humidity to preserve the painted panels.
