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 George I period, spanning from 1714 to 1727, is characterised by architectural proportions, the transition from walnut to mahogany as the primary timber, and refined craftsmanship featuring herringbone banding and veneering.

These pieces typically feature oak secondary timbers with figured walnut veneers applied to deal or pine carcases, enhanced by decorative cross-banding, feather-banding, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, old secondary woods on drawer linings, hand-beaten brasses with correct patination, and subtle irregularities in the veneer indicative of hand-sawing.

Pairing this piece with minimalist modern seating and contemporary art creates a striking contrast that highlights the rich grain and warm tones of the figured walnut.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and periodically nourish the wood with traditional beeswax to preserve the finish.
