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

A French vitrine is a specialised glass-fronted cabinet created primarily to protect and exhibit valuable curiosities, porcelain, and heirloom objects. Emerging in 18th-century France, these cabinets feature glazed panels, refined timber veneers, and decorative metal mounts.

Traditional vitrines are constructed using high-quality fine woods such as walnut, rosewood, or mahogany, often enhanced with marquetry or parquetry veneers. They feature hand-blown glass panels and cast ormolu or brass mountings for decorative protection along edges and feet.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved joinery, original wavy glass, and cast brass or bronze mounts attached with period-correct slotted screws. Examining the underside and rear panels for natural timber shrinkage and hand-saw marks helps verify age and origin.

Place the cabinet as a focal point in a dining room, hallway, or living space alongside simple contemporary upholstery to let its intricate detail stand out. Curate interior shelves with ceramics, glassware, or art objects to maintain a clean, uncluttered aesthetic.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish occasionally along the grain. Clean glass panels carefully using a vinegar-based cleaner applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the frame, avoiding metal mounts.
