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

George II furniture, produced between 1727 and 1760, is characterised by the prominent use of rich woods like walnut and mahogany, balanced classical proportions, and functional internal fitted compartments.

Cabinets from this era were typically constructed from solid and veneered red walnut or mahogany, featuring hand-cast brass hardware, dovetail joints, and oak or pine secondary woods for internal drawers.

Authentic pieces display hand-sawn timber marks, hand-cut dovetail joinery, natural age-related oxidisation on brassware, and uneven wear patterns consistent with centuries of use.

Position the cabinet as a focal piece in a dedicated study or hallway, pairing dark timber tones with neutral wall colours, refined lighting, and understated contemporary artwork.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding modern aerosol sprays or direct exposure to heat sources.
