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

Originating in 18th-century France, a vitrine is a glazed display cabinet designed to exhibit porcelain, silver, and decorative curiosities while protecting them from dust.

These pieces feature figured kingwood or rosewood veneers laid in parquetry patterns, fitted with glass panels and decorative cast bronze or brass ormolu mounts.

Authentic pieces feature hand-chased gilt-bronze mounts, detailed wood grain matching, traditional joinery, working lock mechanisms, and curved serpentine silhouettes.

A vitrine can serve as a statement focal piece in a dining room, living area, or hallway, housing curated collections of ceramics, glassware, or books against neutral walls.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid placing the piece near heat sources to prevent veneer lift, and clean gilded mounts gently with a soft brush.
