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.

Historical footstools encompass various periods, from utilitarian vernacular pieces to formal upholstered designs intended to elevate feet off cold draughty floors.

Authentic pieces typically feature a solid timber frame made from oak, walnut, or mahogany, combined with traditional stuffing materials like horsehair, wool, and textile covers secured with brass tacks.

Authentication involves examining the joinery, timber ageing, hand-forged or early brass fixings, and the wear patterns on the wooden feet.

Such pieces serve as functional accents near armchairs or sofas, adding texture and historical contrast to modern living spaces.

Maintenance requires protecting the wood with appropriate wax polishes, keeping textiles away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and avoiding excessive moisture.
