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

Originating predominantly in Switzerland during the 19th century, Black Forest furniture features intricate wood carvings depicting flora, fauna, and naturalistic tree-bark textures, crafted primarily by woodcarvers in the Brienz region.

Crafters typically carved local hardwoods such as Linden wood, walnut, or oak, often paired with traditional upholstery like velvet or leather over horsehair padding.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved details with subtle tool marks, naturalistic foliage or branch motifs, period-appropriate joinery, and patinated finishes consistent with age.

Such seating can serve as a statement accent in a reading nook, library, or hallway, contrasting organic hand-carved textures against minimalist or modern backdrops.

Dust the intricate wood carvings regularly with a soft brush, apply clear beeswax periodically to protect the timber finish, and gently vacuum upholstered fabric with a low-suction brush attachment.
