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 style furniture, originating in mid-18th century Britain and widely revived in the late 19th century, is characterised by cabriole legs, shell carvings, scrolled armrests, and mahogany or walnut frame construction.

Traditional highback settees were constructed using solid hardwood frames, typically mahogany, oak, or walnut, featuring hand-carved legs, spring cushions, and full-grain leather upholstery fastened with individual brass studs.

Authentic late 19th-century pieces display hand-planed timber frames, traditional webbing underneath, individually driven brass upholstery tacks, and natural age-related patination across high-touch areas.

A highback leather settee serves as an anchor in a spacious entrance hall or living area, pairing naturally with contemporary art, neutral plaster walls, and low-profile modern side tables to highlight its vertical proportions.

Maintain antique leather by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a wax-based leather conditioner annually, keeping the frame away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent drying.
