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 Georgian style is characterised by classical proportions, symmetrical design, and the introduction of convex curved fronts that maximised storage while softening room geometry.

Cabinet makers typically used dense tropical hardwoods like mahogany over pine or oak secondary woods, incorporating hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer construction and solid brass hardware.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut dovetailing, timber shrinkage patterns, period-correct brass drop handles, and secondary woods appropriate to the geographic origin.

The rich timber tones provide a grounded focal point in contemporary spaces, pairing effectively with neutral lime-washed walls, minimalist art, and contrasting textures.

Maintain a stable indoor climate away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and periodically feed the wood with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
