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 vitrine is a specialized glass-fronted cabinet designed to display porcelain, small sculptures, and curio collections while protecting them from dust and damage. The design originated in 18th-century France and became a staple of formal reception rooms across Europe.

These cabinets are typically constructed from hardwood frames veneered with exotic woods such as kingwood, rosewood, or mahogany. They feature cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) or gilt-metal mounts, glass door panels, and are frequently topped with contoured marble slabs.

Authentic items feature sweeping serpentine lines, delicate cabriole legs, asymmetrical rococo mounts, and hand-cut joinery. Look for age-appropriate wear to the gilding, hand-bevelled glass panels, and solid timber construction under wood veneers.

Position a vitrine against a neutral focal wall to highlight its detailed woodwork and mounts. Use the glazed shelves to display unified collections, such as modern ceramics, crystal glassware, or art books, creating a striking contrast with contemporary decor.

Dust the wood and gilt mounts regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth without liquid polishes, as chemicals can erode gilding. Clean the glass with a mild solution applied directly to the cloth rather than spraying near metal mounts or wooden frames.
