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

Crafted predominantly in cultural centres such as Damascus during the Ottoman period, mother-of-pearl furniture emerged as a prominent decorative art form throughout the 19th century, characterised by geometric marquetry and Moorish architectural motifs.

These tables typically feature solid hardwood frames, such as walnut or ebony, inlaid with hand-cut mother-of-pearl shells, bone, and contrasting light timbers arranged in geometric starburst patterns.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut, slightly irregular mother-of-pearl tesserae fitted into carved recesses, accompanied by natural age-related patination on the timber frame and historic joinery techniques.

Position the piece as an accent table alongside neutral upholstered seating to allow the contrasting geometric inlay work and iridescent shell surfaces to serve as a tactile focal point.

Dust regularly with a soft dry microfibre cloth and avoid chemical cleaners or excess moisture, which can degrade historical organic adhesives holding the shell inlay in place.
