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.

Originating in 18th-century France during the Rococo and Louis XV periods, window seats were low-profile benches designed to fit into architectural recesses, featuring ornate hand-carved frames finished in gold leaf alongside woven cane or fabric upholstery.

These pieces feature carved timber frames, typically beech or walnut, layered with gesso and water-gilded with genuine gold leaf, complemented by natural woven rattan cane or hand-loomed textiles.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved construction details, subtle wear to the gold leaf that exposes the underlying reddish bole or white gesso, and hand-woven cane panels showing natural variation.

Position the piece at the foot of a bed, within an entry hallway, or beneath a window sill to create a structural focal point that bridges historical period detail with contemporary architecture.

Dust giltwood surfaces lightly with a dry, soft brush to avoid disturbing the gold leaf, keep liquid cleaners away from water gilding, and maintain steady humidity levels to prevent the cane work from becoming brittle.
