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

A hanging display case, often referred to as a wall vitrine or shadow box, is an enclosed framed cabinet designed to protect and exhibit small curiosities, miniatures, or jewellery on a wall.

These cases were typically crafted from hand-carved hardwood, overlaid with gesso and gold leaf water-gilding, fitted with protective glass, and lined with fabric to safely mount decorative objects.

Authentic pieces display age-related wear to the gilding revealing red or grey bole beneath, along with hand-carved joinery, antique glass variations, and historical mounting hardware.

Mount the case on a neutral feature wall or integrate it into a gallery wall alongside framed artwork and mirrors to introduce warm metallic textures and historical focus to contemporary spaces.

Dust gently using a soft, dry brush or feather duster, avoiding liquid cleaners, water, or abrasive polishes which can dissolve or damage the delicate gesso and gold leaf surface.
