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.
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.
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.

George II period furniture dates from 1727 to 1760 and is recognised by its transition from walnut to dense imported mahogany, featuring classical proportions, carved details, and refined brass hardware.

Primary construction utilised solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcases, accompanied by hand-cast brass handles, escutcheons, and occasional boxwood or satinwood inlay.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary drawer linings, natural shrinkage signs along wood grains, and period-correct brass fittings with hand-cut threads.

A Georgian chest serves as a focal point in contemporary spaces, pairing contrasting dark timber tones with modern artwork, minimalist neutral walls, or structured hallway lighting.

Preserve mahogany by applying high-grade beeswax once or twice a year, keeping the item away from direct heat sources, and maintaining steady indoor relative humidity.
