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.

Glazed display cabinets and servers evolved during the nineteenth century to display items such as glassware, books, and fine china while offering concealed storage below. Featuring a glass-fronted upper section resting on a drawer and cupboard base, these dual-purpose pieces were typically placed in dining rooms or libraries.

Pieces of this style are predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods, paired with brass hardware including corner brackets, drop handles, and hinges. Construction typically includes hand-cut dovetail joints, paneled cupboard doors, and turned spindle galleries.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original drawn glass panes exhibiting subtle wavy distortions, and natural wood shrinkage along backboards. Look for genuine cast brass hardware showing historical oxidation and hand-finished interior joinery.

Position the piece against a light neutral wall to highlight the dark timber tones. Style the open glazed shelves with contemporary ceramics, art books, and minimal glass decorative objects to balance classical craft with modern aesthetic elements.

Dust surfaces regularly using a soft microfibre cloth, rubbing along the direction of the wood grain. Position the cabinet away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage or veneer lifting, and apply a natural beeswax polish annually.
