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

Apothecary drawers were historically used by pharmacists and herbalists to store dried herbs, roots, powders, and medicinal compounds in an organised manner.

These units are typically constructed from dense hardwoods or pine, featuring dovetailed drawer joints, hand-blown glass or porcelain knobs, and paper or ceramic labels.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage, genuine oxidisation on handles, and original handwritten or printed paper labels.

They serve as functional storage pieces on top of sideboards, desks, or kitchen counters, adding historic character and texture to contemporary spaces.

Preserve the wood by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the finish.
