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, the etagere was designed to display small ornaments, porcelain, and books. By the mid-19th century, Victorian cabinetmakers adopted the style, combining French cabinetmaking techniques with elaborate marquetry and decorative brass mounts.

These pieces frequently incorporate exotic timber veneers such as rosewood, walnut, or kingwood, arranged in geometric parquetry patterns. Structural elements often feature fluted mahogany or rosewood columns, accented with cast brass or ormolu galleries and foot mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut veneer construction, fine oak or pine drawer linings where applicable, and heavy cast brass mounts secured with aged steel screws. Pierced galleries typically show subtle hand-finished irregularities rather than modern uniform machine stamping.

A symmetrical arrangement works effectively by placing one etagere on either side of a fireplace, alcove, or sofa. The open tiers offer vertical visual interest when dressed with contemporary ceramics, small framed artwork, or botanical displays.

Dust wood surfaces regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish annually, avoiding the metalwork. Clean brass galleries using a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove dust from pierced detail without applying harsh liquid polish to adjacent wood veneers.
