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

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 II style, spanning roughly from 1727 to 1760, marked a transition from heavy walnut designs to the sophisticated use of solid mahogany, featuring classical architectural motifs, bracket feet, and finely cast brass hardware.

Master cabinetmakers predominantly utilised dense Cuban mahogany, oak secondary timbers for drawer linings, and hand-cut dovetail joints, ensuring structural longevity and exceptional weight distribution.

Authentication relies on examining hand-cut dovetailing, natural timber shrinkage, uniform oxidation inside drawers, original brasses or undisturbed backplates, and construction using period-correct secondary woods like oak or pine.

Pairing a dark wood antique desk with modern minimalist seating, contemporary abstract art, or placing it against a moody, saturated wall colour creates a striking balance between historical character and modern utility.

Maintain a stable room temperature away from direct sunlight and heating vents to prevent timber splitting, and occasionally nourish the grain using traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
