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

Historically utilised by apothecaries to store medicinal herbs, tinctures, and preparation tools, these compact cupboards originate from continental Europe. Italian regional examples are distinguished by elaborate hand-painted polychrome finishes, architectural mouldings, and decorative carved panelling.

These cabinets were predominantly crafted from local softwoods or hardwoods, coated with a gesso base, and decorated using tempera or oil paints. Upper surfaces frequently incorporated fitted marble slabs, such as breccia or Italian pink marble, to resist moisture and wear.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural craquelure across the painted surface, layered paint loss revealing underlying gesso or bare timber, and hand-carved joinery details. Hand-cut dovetails, original forged iron hinges or locks, and uneven wear patterns around handles further indicate genuine age.

Place the cabinet as an accent piece in a hallway, bedroom, or living area to contrast clean contemporary lines with historical texture. Pair the polychrome finish with neutral walls, minimalist ceramics, or brass accents to highlight the architectural details and paintwork.

Dust gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or a soft brush around delicate carvings. Avoid liquid cleaners, solvents, or damp cloths on painted areas to prevent paint flaking, and wipe marble tops using only pH-neutral stone cleaners.
