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 George III period spans from 1760 to 1820, encompassing various design movements from Rococo and Chinoiserie to Neoclassicism, characterised by fine craftsmanship and quality timber use.

Cabinetmakers primarily used solid mahogany and imported exotic hardwoods, often incorporating marquetry or parquetry veneers made from satinwood, boxwood, and walnut.

Authentication relies on examining hand-cut dovetails, traditional joinery methods, natural timber oxidisation, tool marks, and period-appropriate hardware and construction techniques.

Placing an antique wooden piece within a modern setting provides textural contrast; it functions well as a focal point in a living space, often paired with minimalist seating to highlight its historic character.

Maintain antique wooden surfaces by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources, applying occasional traditional beeswax, and avoiding moisture or harsh chemical cleaners.
