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.

FAQs

Maintain antique timber by avoiding direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels, occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the wood and protect the historical finish.

Pairing antique wooden chairs with a contemporary dining table creates a sophisticated, eclectic contrast that highlights the craftsmanship of the period while maintaining functional utility.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the timber for age-related patination, checking for hand-cut joinery marks, observing traditional tool indicators, and verifying period-correct construction techniques rather than modern mechanical fasteners.

Cabinetmakers primarily used solid mahogany for its strength and rich grain, often pairing the frames with traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon, and upholstery over webbed or stuffed drop-in seats.

The George III style spans the mid-to-late 18th century, characterised by refined classical proportions, graceful lines, and a shift from heavy walnut to rich mahogany as the preferred timber.
