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

Louis XVI style furniture is characterized by neoclassical design principles that emerged in late 18th-century France, featuring straight lines, geometric symmetry, fluted columns, and carved motifs inspired by classical Greco-Roman architecture.

These pieces typically feature carved hardwood frames, such as beech or oak, prepared with gesso and layered with micro-thin gold leaf, alongside traditional upholstery materials including horsehair padding, steel springs, and woven textiles.

Look for hand-carved wood details beneath the gilding, corner blocks with rosette carvings, straight fluted legs tapering towards the base, and evidence of traditional mortise-and-tenon frame joinery.

A giltwood sofa serves as a statement focal point when contrasted against neutral contemporary walls, pared-back architectural details, and modern, minimalist accent lighting.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth or a soft bristle brush, avoiding liquid cleaners, polishes, or water, which can dissolve water-gilded gesso bases.
