Dealers Notes

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.

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.

A Victorian dentist cabinet is a specialised piece of 19th-century furniture designed specifically for dental practitioners to organise instruments and supplies. These pieces typically feature multiple shallow drawers, tambour roll tops, and marble hygiene surfaces.

These cabinets were commonly constructed using high-grade hardwoods such as burr walnut, mahogany, or oak. Smooth marble or slate tops were incorporated to provide hygienic, chemical-resistant work areas for medical tools.

Authentic pieces are identified by their unusually shallow drawer proportions, integrated marble surfaces, roll-top tambour sections, and hand-joined dovetail construction. Many examples feature specialized interior compartments originally intended for medical instruments.

In contemporary settings, these cabinets serve as functional storage chests in home offices, hallways, or living rooms. The shallow drawers make them well-suited for storing stationery, jewellery, art supplies, or private collections.

Burr walnut veneers require protection from direct sunlight and heat to prevent drying or bleaching, and should be treated with natural beeswax polish. Marble surfaces should be wiped promptly with a soft cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner to protect against etching.
