Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

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 in late 17th-century Britain, William and Mary furniture is identified by Dutch and French baroque influences, featuring bold geometric mouldings, turned legs, split spindles, and decorative wood veneers.

Early English chests were primarily constructed from solid oak, utilising mortise and tenon joinery, hand-dovetailed drawer boxes, runner side-grooves, and applied mitred geometrically panelled fronts.

Authentic period pieces display irregular hand-sawn wood, hand-forged iron nails or wooden pegs, age-related shrinkage across solid tops, and distinctive side-hung drawer runners rather than bottom runners.

A geometric oak chest can serve as a focal point in a hallway or living room, contrasted against contemporary neutral walls, clean-lined ceramics, and minimalist table lamps.

Maintain oak furniture by applying beeswax sparingly along the grain, keeping it away from direct heat sources or high humidity, and dusting regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth.
