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 vitrine is a glazed display cabinet designed to exhibit and safeguard delicate objects, porcelain, or curiosities. Originating in 18th-century France, these pieces frequently incorporate glass panels on the front and sides, accented by decorative timber veneers and metal mounts.

Cabinets from this era typically utilized structural hardwoods like oak or pine veneered with exotic woods such as kingwood, rosewood, or walnut. Exterior ornamentation featured cast gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts, marquetry inlays, and mouth-blown or cast glass panels.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut marquetry veneers, hand-chased gilt bronze mounts with period-appropriate fixing screws, and slight irregularities in the glass panes. Additionally, examination of the back panel and interior drawer construction will reveal hand-planed timber and historical joinery techniques.

A glazed vitrine serves as a focal point in a dining room, living space, or hallway when juxtaposed against contemporary minimalist decor. Positioning lighting nearby allows the glazed panels and reflective gilt mounts to enhance light within the room while displaying curated ceramics or books.

Glass panels should be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild ammonia-free glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly onto the item. Timber surfaces require gentle dusting and occasional applications of natural beeswax, while gilt bronze mounts should only be dusted with a soft brush to protect the original gilding.
