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.
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.
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.

A 19th-century painted settee inspired by French design typically features a hand-carved wooden frame finished in pale paint, exposed timber detailing, and flowing Rococo or Neoclassical curves. Popularised during the 18th and 19th centuries, these pieces combined formal elegance with padded upholstery.

These settees were crafted using hardwoods such as beech or oak for the structural frame, joined with traditional mortise and tenon carpentry. The frame was coated in gesso and chalky paint, while seat cushions were stuffed with horsehair or natural fibres supported by hand-tied webbing.

Authentic 19th-century examples display natural wear to the painted surface along high-touch areas like armrests and leg corners, revealing underlying wood layers. Structural indicators include minor hand-carved asymmetrical details, traditional joinery marks, and hand-cut timber dowels or pegs.

To integrate a painted settee into a modern setting, pair its classic silhouette with clean-lined contemporary coffee tables or neutral architectural backdrops. Upholstering the piece in plain neutral linen or wool balances historical craftsmanship with modern understated design.

Dust the painted timber framework gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that strip original finishes. Upholstered sections require low-suction vacuuming, while ambient humidity should remain stable to prevent timber movement.
