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 French salon suite typically consists of a small settee or canape paired with matching armchairs, designed for formal drawing rooms. Influenced by Rococo and Louis XV revivals, these sets feature ornate hand-carved decorative frames and luxurious textile upholstery.

Traditional construction employed carved beechwood or pine timber frames coated with gesso and layered with genuine gold leaf water-gilding. Upholstery featured woven brocade, damask, silk, or tapestry fabrics secured with brass studs or decorative trim.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-carving along frame contours, traditional horsehair or burlap spring seat padding, and natural wear or red bole peeking through aged gilding. Hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery is also indicative of period craftsmanship.

Balance the ornate carved frames and metallic finish by placing the suite in a room with neutral walls, minimalist architectural details, or modern artwork. Mixing period giltwood seating with contemporary low-profile coffee tables creates a curated, eclectic aesthetic.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a soft, dry squirrel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical polish which damages water-gilded gesso surfaces. Vacuum upholstery lightly using a soft brush attachment and position the set away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
