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 style furniture, prevalent in the early 19th century, is characterised by classical proportions, inspired by ancient Greece and Rome, often featuring dark hardwoods like mahogany and subtle brass detailing.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from dense tropical hardwoods such as mahogany, frequently accented with brass castors, handles, and mechanical ratchets for the adjustable writing slope.

Authenticity is determined by hand-cut dovetail joints in drawers, hand-turned components, period-appropriate brass hardware, and natural timber oxidisation consistent with age.

Such pieces function effectively as focal points in studies or living rooms, providing character when contrasted against contemporary minimalist furnishings or complementing a traditional aesthetic.

Maintain timber condition by avoiding direct sunlight, keeping away from heat sources to prevent wood splitting, and periodically applying quality beeswax to nourish the polished surface.
