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

Originating in 18th-century Britain during the reign of King George II, cabinets on stand combine a veneered storage case with a carved and gilded base, frequently displaying Rococo or classical influences.

Craftsmen utilised native and imported timbers such as mulberry, walnut, and mahogany for veneering, supported by softwood internal structures and mounted on carved giltwood bases finished with gold leaf over gesso.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut dovetail joinery, period-correct iron or brass lock mechanisms, natural oxidisation on interior timber, and traditional gesso gilding techniques on the carved base.

A Georgian cabinet on stand serves as a focal statement piece in a dining space, drawing room, or entrance hall, harmonising with modern neutral walls and focused accent lighting.

Dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth or natural feather duster; avoid liquid cleaners or wax polishes on gilt surfaces, and position the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
