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.
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.
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.

Louis XV style vitrines are characterised by curvilinear silhouettes, bombe lower sections, serpentine glass panels, and decorative cast metal ormolu mounts influenced by 18th-century French design traditions.

These cabinets feature kingwood veneer arranged in geometric parquetry patterns, cast bronze or brass ormolu mountings, fitted glass panels, and interior glass shelving supported by a solid timber frame.

Authentic examples feature hand-fitted marquetry or parquetry veneers, heavy cast bronze mounts showing natural oxidisation, hand-cut glass, and traditional mortise-and-tenon interior joinery.

Position the cabinet against a neutral focal wall to highlight its curved silhouette, and curate the glass shelves with fine porcelain, contemporary glassware, or sculptural objects to balance traditional and modern accents.

Dust the wood regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent veneer lifting, and clean glass surfaces using ammonia-free cleaner applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the frame.
