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

George II furniture, dating from around 1727 to 1760, typically features mahogany construction, cabriole legs, carved motifs such as scallop shells or acanthus leaves, and vase-shaped or pierced splat backs.

Cuban mahogany became the preferred timber during the George II era due to its dense grain, rich colour, and suitability for intricate hand carving and durable joinery.

Look for signs of hand-craftsmanship including irregular hand-cut dovetails, original corner blocks beneath the seat frame, hand-turned stretchers, and natural oxidisation on the underside of the timber.

A pair of Georgian side chairs can be placed flanking a console table, paired with contemporary dining tables, or positioned in a study to provide architectural contrast.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber movement or fading, and apply a beeswax polish once or twice a year using a soft cloth.
