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.
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.
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.

French provincial armoires from the 18th century typically feature solid native hardwoods such as oak or walnut, raised fielded door panels, gently curved bonnet tops or straight cornices, and elongated decorative iron key plates and hinges.

These cabinets were constructed using solid French oak joined with traditional peg-and-tenon joinery, fitted with hand-forged iron or brass hardware for hinges and locks.

Authentic period pieces display hand-planed surfaces, hand-cut dovetail or mortise-and-tenon joints secured with wooden pegs, irregularity in timber cuts, and natural wear around handle placement and base feet.

A lower-profile armoire works effectively as a hall cupboard, dining room sideboard alternative, or bedroom linen storage, providing structural weight that contrasts cleanly with minimalist or contemporary architectural elements.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding modern aerosol sprays, direct sunlight, and placement near central heating radiators.
