Strictly Vetted Dealers

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

Mid-to-late nineteenth-century credenzas and bookcases typically feature figured wood veneers such as burr walnut, intricate floral or arabesque marquetry inlays, gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts, and a breakfront profile combining central solid doors with glazed side compartments.

These cabinets were constructed using a solid pine or oak carcase veneered with cut burr walnut. Inlays were crafted from contrasting hardwoods like boxwood or fruitwood, and decorative elements were cast in bronze or brass before being gilded.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, thick hand-cut veneers, cast gilt-metal mounts with natural casting imperfections, and slight irregularities in the floral inlay work indicative of hand craftsmanship.

A low credenza or bookcase can serve as a focal point beneath artwork in a hallway or living space. Modern interiors benefit from pairing ornate timber grain and brass mounts against muted, modern wall colours to highlight historic craftsmanship.

Keep the wood nourished using a high-quality beeswax polish applied along the grain, avoiding silicone-based sprays. Gilt-bronze mounts should only be dusted with a soft dry brush to prevent removing the original gilded finish or oxidising the metal.
