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

The breakfront style features a central section that projects forward from the flanking side sections, creating architectural depth and visual symmetry typical of formal 18th and 19th-century cabinetry.

Pieces are typically constructed using a carcase of secondary timbers like pine or oak, veneered with highly figured burr walnut slices sourced from the growth warts of walnut trees, often accented with feather banding.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction, traditional shellac polish finishes that show natural ageing, and veneer thickness that predates modern mechanical slicing techniques.

Balance the heavy visual weight of the figured grain by curating shelves with a mix of vertical books, sculptural objects, and negative space to maintain an uncluttered aesthetic.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer cracking, and apply microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the surface without attracting dust.
