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

Scandinavian Art Deco, often associated with the Swedish Grace movement, features classic proportions, streamlined silhouettes, and the use of highly figured native timber veneers such as burr elm, birch, and flame birch.

Pieces were typically constructed with a solid pine or softwood core overlaid with premium burr elm or birch veneers, featuring lockable brass or steel escutcheons and finished with hand-applied shellac or lacquer.

Authentic period examples exhibit precise veneer matching, gently rounded architectural shoulders, original brass lock mechanisms, and period-correct joinery to the back panels and interior shelving.

Position the piece along a main wall to serve as a low credenza, balancing the warm honey tones of the timber with neutral backdrop paints, modern table lamps, and minimalist ceramic vessels.

Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or fading, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-quality clear beeswax sparingly along the grain.
