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

Penwork is a decorative technique popularised in late 18th and early 19th-century Britain, where detailed ink drawings of classical or botanical motifs were applied to light-coloured wood or japanned surfaces and sealed with varnish.

Antique chess tables were typically crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, often incorporating hand-drawn penwork, ebonised timber elements, inlaid timber gameboards, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic Regency penwork displays fine hand-inked line work with natural variations under magnification, period-appropriate lacquer craquelure, and traditional construction features like hand-cut joinery and turned pedestal bases.

An antique chess table can be placed in a quiet reading corner or bay window flanked by modern armchairs to create a dedicated leisure zone that blends historical detailing with contemporary living.

Dust surfaces gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh liquid cleansers or solvents that could dissolve the delicate ink or protective varnish. Keep the item away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels.
