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

Louis XVI style furniture is characterised by classical symmetry, straight geometric lines, fluted legs, and neoclassical decorative motifs inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity.

Traditional French gilt sofas were constructed from solid carved hardwoods, such as beech or walnut, finished with water-gilding or paint, and padded using natural horsehair upholstery.

Look for straight, tapered, or spiral-fluted legs, crisp carved ribbon or bead mouldings, geometric frames, and evidence of hand-carved joinery or original gilding wear.

A French painted settee functions as a statement piece in an entryway or living area, pairing well with minimalist contemporary side tables and neutral linen textiles.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting gently with a soft microfibre cloth while avoiding water or chemical cleaners that may strip delicate gilded leaf.
