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 late 18th-century Sweden under King Gustav III, Gustavian style combines French Neoclassical restraint with simplified rustic forms, characteristically featuring muted painted finishes in grey, blue, and off-white tones.

Miniature dressers were frequently constructed from native softwoods such as pine or spruce, joined with hand-cut dovetails and finished with hand-mixed milk paint or oil-based pigments.

Genuine period pieces exhibit natural wear patterns on handles and high-contact edges, multiple historical paint layers, hand-planed timber surfaces, and traditional peg-and-tenon or dovetail joinery.

Position the piece atop a sideboard, desk, or open shelving unit to create visual height and serve as decorative storage for small items within modern neutral interiors.

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth, avoid damp cleaning agents that could lift flaking paint, and keep the object away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage.
