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

A pier cabinet is a low, narrow display cabinet originally designed in the 19th century to occupy the pier wall space positioned between two windows.

These cabinets were typically built using walnut or mahogany veneers, decorative boxwood marquetry inlay, glass panels, fabric-lined interior shelving, and cast brass ormolu mounts.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut wood marquetry, original brass mounts secured with historic screws, solid wood backboards, and natural patina consistent with 19th-century craftsmanship.

A pier cabinet functions as a focal point in hallways, alcoves, or living rooms, serving as a display space for books and decorative objects beneath wall art.

Position the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to protect the veneer, clean surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth, and apply natural beeswax sparingly along the wood grain.
