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 French Rococo style, prominent during the 18th century, is characterised by asymmetrical designs, curved lines, scrollwork, and natural motifs such as leaves and floral carvings.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwood frames such as walnut, beech, or mahogany, joined with traditional mortise and tenon techniques, and traditionally upholstered using horsehair, springs, and high-grade textiles.

Authentication involves examining the hand-carved detailing for tool marks, inspecting the joinery for period-appropriate construction, and checking the ageing characteristics of the wood and internal webbing.

Pairing this classic seating with minimalist contemporary furniture and neutral walls creates a balanced aesthetic that highlights the intricate woodwork and rich upholstery without overwhelming the space.

Preservation requires keeping the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, regularly vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, and treating the exposed wooden frame with appropriate furniture wax.
