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.

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 Hepplewhite style, popular during the late 18th century, is characterised by elegant restraint, graceful curving lines, and classical neoclassical motifs popularised by cabinetmaker George Hepplewhite.

These pieces were traditionally crafted from solid mahogany and secondary softwoods, utilising hand-cut dovetail joints for drawer construction and pegged frames for structural integrity.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage consistent with age, original brass hardware or properly filled old screw holes, and patination developed through centuries of use.

Pairing dark wood period furniture with clean-walled modern spaces, minimal contemporary art, and neutral textiles creates a striking contrast that highlights the craftsmanship of the antique.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and treat the surface periodically with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
