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.

FAQs

The George IV style, spanning the 1820s and early 1830s, is characterised by robust classical proportions, heavy influence from ancient Greek and Roman architecture, and often utilises high-quality dark timbers such as mahogany.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid and veneered dense hardwoods like mahogany, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction and turned or reeded legs, frequently fitted with brass castors.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate tool marks, timber shrinkage consistent with age, hand-turned wooden knobs or brass hardware, and secondary woods such as oak or pine used in internal drawer linings.

A period writing table serves as a functional anchor in a modern study or living space, pairing effectively with minimalist seating and contemporary lighting to create a balanced contrast between old and new.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, applying microcrystalline wax periodically, and dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth.
