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

An apprentice piece is a scaled-down miniature furniture model crafted by an apprentice cabinetmaker to demonstrate their technical skill and mastery of joinery techniques to a guild or master craftsman.

These pieces were typically constructed from fine hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, featuring miniature brass handles, functioning keyhole escutcheons, and hand-dovetailed drawer linings.

Authentic period pieces display period-correct construction techniques, such as hand-cut dovetail joints, original timber oxidisation, genuine wear on the drawer runners, and scaled period hardware.

Miniature chests function as decorative desktop storage for stationary, trinkets, or jewellery, working well positioned on a sideboard top, mantelpiece, or bookshelf within a layered interior.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually along the grain, while avoiding direct sunlight, radiators, and harsh chemical cleaners.
