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

Victorian burr walnut furniture is distinguished by highly figured wood veneers cut from walnut burl, displaying intricate swirl patterns. Marquetry inlays from this era often feature detailed floral or foliate motifs using contrasting timbers, frequently complemented by decorative gilt-bronze or brass ormolu mounts inspired by French Rococo revival styles.

Nineteenth-century display cabinets were constructed with solid hardwood frames overlaid with fine decorative veneers such as burr walnut, mahogany, or rosewood. Additional features included float glass panels for doors, hand-cast brass or bronze ormolu embellishments, and fruitwood or boxwood inlays for detailed marquetry artwork.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail joinery, historical timber shrinkage along panel seams, and hand-chased brass or ormolu mounts with natural surface patination. The underside and back boards typically feature hand-sawn secondary timbers such as pine or oak showing genuine age-related darkening.

A Victorian burr walnut cabinet serves as a focal point when placed against neutral or contemporary wall treatments. Designers contrast the ornate wood grain and gilt mounts by styling the interior shelves with a mix of modern art, ceramics, and structured book arrangements to balance traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a dry, soft microfiber cloth and applying beeswax polish sparingly along the wood grain once or twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent veneer lifting, and avoid chemical cleansers on the brass ormolu mounts.
