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 the eighteenth century, a cellerette was designed as a portable storage chest for wine and liquor bottles in dining rooms. Often fitted with internal partitions or linings, these pieces allowed hosts to keep beverages accessible near the dining table.

High-grade hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood were standard for external construction, often accented with marquetry, inlay, and brass hardware. Internal compartments frequently utilised tin, zinc, or wood dividers to organize bottle storage.

Authentic examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints, period-correct brass drop handles, and natural age-related oxidisation on interior surfaces and hardware. Genuine pieces also exhibit subtle variations in hand-carved mouldings and original lock mechanisms.

A cellerette functions effectively as an accent table, drinks cabinet, or decorative storage piece in a contemporary living or dining space. Placing a pair in a room scheme adds symmetry and historical depth.

Regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth maintains the finish, while occasional applications of high-quality beeswax protect the veneer. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent drying, warping, or fading of the timber.
