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

Regency dressing stools from the early 19th century feature Neoclassical influences, often incorporating swept legs, turned handles, reeded decoration, and low-profile upholstered seats designed for bedrooms or window alcoves.

These pieces were crafted primarily from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over pine and oak secondary timber, utilizing traditional joinery along with natural fabric coverings such as woven damask over hair stuffing.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, hand-turned reeding or carving on handles, natural patination across timber surfaces, and historic upholstery construction beneath the top layer.

Pairs or sets of Regency stools function effectively placed symmetrically at the foot of a bed, positioned beneath a low console table, or arranged within a bay window to provide flexible occasional seating.

Clean the mahogany frames using a dry cloth and apply natural beeswax polish periodically while keeping the fabric upholstery away from direct sunlight to prevent fibre degradation and colour fading.
