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 Louis XV style vitrine is characterised by graceful curves, cabriole legs, asymmetrical decorative flourishes, curved glass panels, and heavy reliance on cast bronze or ormolu mounts to protect and accentuate the wood edges.

These cabinets are typically constructed using fine hardwoods such as kingwood, tulipwood, or walnut, combined with hand-cut marquetry veneers, mouth-blown glass, fabric linings, and mercury-gilded bronze (ormolu) mounts.

Authentic period pieces show evidence of hand-planed timber backings, hand-cut dovetail joints, cast bronze mounts with individual chaser marks, and natural age-related oxidisation on metalwork and interior wood structures.

A French vitrine serves as a focal accent piece when placed in a neutral contemporary room, offering an elegant contrast against minimal walls while functioning as secure display for ceramics, sculpture, or glassware.

Dust the gilded bronze mounts with a dry, soft-bristle brush, avoid harsh metal polishes, clean glass panels with a lightly dampened cloth, and treat wood surfaces with high-grade beeswax to maintain moisture levels.
