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.

This Victorian pier cabinet displays a warm brown burr walnut timber finish complemented by intricate floral marquetry inlay across the frieze and door frame. The single glazed door opens to reveal shelves lined with deep red velvet, alongside decorative gilt ormolu mounts positioned at the top corners and vertical stiles, plus brass keyhole hardware and carved wooden bracket feet. The structured rectangular silhouette sits upon a stepped plinth base. In a contemporary home, this display cabinet functions practically in a living room, hallway, or study to showcase small decorative items, collections, or books behind protective glass. The piece measures 82.5 cm wide by 31 cm deep and stands 110 cm high, fitting comfortably against a wall in both traditional and transitional interior schemes.

FAQs

A pier cabinet is a low, narrow glazed cupboard originally designed during the 19th century to sit against the wall spaces between large windows, known as piers.

These cabinets were typically built using walnut, mahogany, or rosewood veneers, featuring delicate wood marquetry, cast gilt-bronze or brass ormolu mounts, and velvet-lined shelves.

Authentic period pieces show signs of 19th-century craftsmanship, including hand-cut drawer dovetails, natural oxidisation on gilt brass mounts, hand-applied floral marquetry, and period glass panels.

Place the cabinet in an entryway, alcove, or hallway to store porcelain, books, or glassware, allowing the warm wood finish to contrast with modern interior paint tones.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, keep the item away from direct heat sources to protect the wood veneers, and polish occasionally with a light application of beeswax.
