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

A tricoteuse is a specialised French work table or sewing stand, introduced during the late eighteenth century, featuring multiple open tiers and rimmed tray tops designed to keep yarn, needles, and handiwork contained.

Nineteenth-century examples are typically constructed from fine hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, featuring turned vertical uprights, brass gallery rims, tray-form borders, and brass castors.

Authentic period pieces show hand-cut joinery underneath, original brass hardware with natural oxidisation, uniform timber shrinkage along grain lines, and multi-tier construction with raised gallery borders.

A tricoteuse functions as a multi-level side table beside armchairs, a plant display stand in light-filled rooms, or an occasional storage piece for curated decorative objects in alcoves.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking, dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, and apply high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain.
