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 France, Louis XV furniture is recognised by its fluid Rococo lines, cabriole legs, asymmetrical curves, detailed wood marquetry or parquetry, and decorative cast bronze or brass ormolu mounts.

Traditional French vitrines were constructed using high-quality hardwoods such as oak or walnut for the carcass, overlaid with exotic timber veneers like kingwood or rosewood, alongside gilt-bronze mounts, blown glass, and fabric-lined interiors.

Authentic period vitrines feature hand-cut dovetail joints, irregular hand-blown glass, uneven timber oxidisation on unexposed surfaces, and hand-chased metal mounts with authentic age-related patina.

A French vitrine can be integrated into contemporary spaces as a focal point in a hallway, dining room, or drawing room, paired against neutral walls to highlight the delicate timber tone and brass embellishments.

Maintain the cabinet by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight to protect the wood veneer, and using non-abrasive cleaners specifically formulated for glass and gilt metals.
