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

Originating in late 18th-century France, Louis XVI seating shifted away from Rococo curves toward Neoclassical symmetry, featuring straight fluted legs, carved architectural motifs, gold-leaf gilding, and woven cane panels.

Frames were typically carved from solid hardwoods such as beech or oak, covered in gesso and gold leaf gilding, with backrests and seats constructed from hand-woven split rattan cane.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved joinery with mortise and tenon construction, subtle irregularities in hand-woven cane, and natural wear or oxidisation across water-gilded surfaces.

A gilded canape functions well as a focal statement piece in an entryway, master bedroom nook, or formal drawing room, balanced alongside clean contemporary forms and neutral textiles.

Dust gently using a dry soft-bristled brush, maintain stable humidity to prevent the rattan cane from drying out, and avoid liquid or abrasive cleaners that degrade gilding.
