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 Vernis Martin vitrine is a glazed display cabinet featuring decorative lacquerwork developed by the Martin brothers in eighteenth-century France, frequently embellished with hand-painted pastoral scenes and ornate gilt-bronze mounts.

These pieces traditionally incorporate fine wood veneers such as kingwood or rosewood, serpentine bowed glass panels, cast ormolu (gilt bronze) mounts, and hand-painted lacquer lower panels.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-painted romantic or landscape scenes on the lower panels, finely chiselled gilt-bronze mounts, hand-cut joinery, and original curved glass glazing fitted to the frame.

A vitrine can serve as a focal point in a dining room, living space, or hallway, providing a decorative contrast when placed against crisp contemporary walls to store glass accent pieces or ceramics.

Dust the cabinet regularly with a soft dry microfibre cloth, avoid using chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners on painted panels or metalwork, and maintain stable indoor humidity to protect wood veneers.
