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

Edwardian furniture, produced during the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, typically features lighter proportions, simpler lines, and a revival of various historical motifs compared to the heavy ornamentation of the Victorian era.

These pieces were commonly constructed using solid hardwoods and veneers such as mahogany, satinwood, and walnut, frequently accented with boxwood stringing, brass hardware, and leather-lined writing surfaces.

Authentication involves examining construction methods, such as hand-cut dovetails in the drawers, the presence of secondary timbers like pine or oak on drawer linings, and natural age-related patina on the wood and hardware.

Pairing a traditional wooden desk with modern minimalist seating or contemporary lighting creates a balanced focal point that highlights the craftsmanship without overwhelming the room.

Maintain the timber by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent cracking, applying microcrystalline wax periodically rather than modern silicone-based polishes.
