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 nineteenth-century mahogany writing cabinet is a hybrid storage and working piece of furniture, combining a writing drawer or fold-out flap with shelving and lower cupboard storage.

These cabinets were predominantly built using solid mahogany and flame mahogany veneers, often featuring oak or pine interior drawer linings and brass lock escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature hand-sawn secondary timbers, hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, period-correct brass locks, and original surface patination across the wood grain.

Place the piece in a study, hallway, or living room as a focal point, pairing its dark tones with neutral wall palettes, modern art, or curated ceramic displays on the upper shelves.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent wood shrinkage.
