We allow only vetted, professional dealers to list their items for sale on the platform. 

Along with the application, all prospective sellers must provide at least two references who can verify they are a seller or organization in good standing, with top-quality inventory that matches our standards.

Applications are reviewed by our experts in contemporary and vintage furniture, fine art, jewelry and fashion. All sellers are evaluated on the appropriateness and quality of their inventory. This may involve requests for samples to assess a collection, in-person visits to prospective sellers’ workshops, audits of social media accounts and industry editorial coverage as well as a review of their interactions with customers to gauge service commitment and industry reputation.

The confidence we have in our extraordinary supply is a direct result of our strict vetting of the sellers themselves. 1stDibs seeks to reassure all customers that the items they’re shopping meet strict marketplace standards.
