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

The George II style, spanning from roughly 1727 to 1760, marks a transition from heavy, carved walnut designs to more refined, architectural forms utilising imported mahogany with classical Palladian influences.

These pieces typically feature solid mahogany or mahogany veneers applied to secondary woods such as oak or pine, constructed with hand-cut dovetails on the drawer joints and pegged tenon frames.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate hand-cut dovetailing, irregular tool marks from pit-saws, shrinkage cracks consistent with age, and original or period-correct brass batwing hardware and escutcheons.

Pairing a dark wood Georgian chest with neutral walls and minimalist modern art creates a balanced focal point that grounds contemporary spaces with historical texture.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels between 40 and 50 percent, keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and occasionally apply microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber.
