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

Maintain stable humidity levels to prevent timber expansion that can loosen metal inlay, dust softly with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoid direct heat sources or liquid polishers.

Position the pair symmetrically on either side of a focal feature such as a fireplace or doorway, or place them in a hallway topped with modern minimalist ceramics to create visual contrast.

Examine the inlaid metal and shell to ensure it sits flush with the surface veneer, inspect the reverse for period-appropriate hand-planed carcass joinery, and check for hand-chased detail on the gilt-bronze mounts.

Authentic pieces feature a combination of sheet brass, tortoiseshell, ebonised timber, and cast gilt-bronze ormolu mounts, often constructed over an oak or pine carcass.

Originating during Emperor Napoleon IIIs reign in 19th-century France, this style revives 17th-century cabinetmaking techniques created by Andre-Charles Boulle, characterised by brass and tortoiseshell marquetry set against ebonised timber frames with gilt-bronze mounts.
