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 glazed display cabinet popularised in the 18th and 19th centuries, designed to store and display precious objects, porcelain, and curiosities while protecting them from dust.

These cabinets typically feature rich wood veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, or mahogany, decorated with parquetry or marquetry, curved glass panels, and gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts.

Authentic 19th-century pieces often exhibit finely cast and hand-chased gilt-bronze mounts, precise dovetail jointing, hand-cut glass, and high-grade veneers over oak or pine carcass wood.

A French vitrine serves as a focal piece when set against a neutral wall, housing modern ceramics, sculpture, or art books to create a contrast between classical craftsmanship and modern aesthetics.

Glass panels should be cleaned with a non-ammonia cleaner applied to a cloth, while the wooden veneer requires occasional dusting and beeswax application; ormolu mounts should be dusted dry without chemical polishes.
