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

The secretaire abattant originated in 18th-century France as a tall, narrow drop-front writing desk. Over time, particularly during the 20th century, many traditional tall secretaires were adapted or designed with interior mirrors and shelving to function as concealed cocktail cabinets.

Traditional construction relies heavily on solid hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, accented with fine wood veneers like walnut or satinwood in chevron and parquetry patterns. Decorative trim, escutcheons, and corner ornaments are usually crafted from cast brass or ormolu.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, original brass lock plates, and natural shrinkage or aging lines in solid wood panels. Looking behind drawers and inspecting cabinet backs reveals rough-sawn timber and hand-driven steel or brass fasteners.

Position the cabinet against a focal wall in a dining room, study, or living area to create vertical interest. Unfolding the drop-front section during gatherings transforms the piece into an open serving bar while keeping glassware and spirits organised.

Dust wood surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain hydration. Brass fittings should be cleaned gently with a dry microfiber cloth to preserve the natural aged patina.
