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 drop-centre mirror-back cabinet is a late 19th-century or early 20th-century storage and display unit featuring a lowered central surface flanked by taller glazed cupboards, backed by mirrors and decorative wooden fretwork.

These pieces were typically constructed using solid mahogany framework, mahogany veneers, satinwood or boxwood marquetry inlays, bevelled mirror glass, and hand-fitted brass hardware.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, original bevelled glass mirror plates displaying minor age-related desilvering, detailed timber inlays, and natural wear to the original polished finish.

Position the piece as a focal point in a dining room, reception room, or wide hallway, using the central dropped section to display contemporary ceramics or glassware to contrast with the dark wood.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, avoiding liquid or aerosol cleaners near inlaid details.
