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 Victorian sarcophagus cellarette is a wooden storage chest designed to hold wine bottles, characterised by angled side panels and a stepped lid reminiscent of ancient classical sarcophagi.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or oak, often featuring lead or zinc inner linings to contain ice melt.

Authentic examples feature hand-carved decorative relief motifs, period dovetail joinery, original keyhole escutcheons, and natural age-related patination across the wood surface.

Position the piece as a floor-standing accent in a dining room, entrance hall, or study to provide historical weight alongside modern furnishings.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish once a year to protect the timber and retain the original finish.
