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

Victorian seating from the 19th century is characterised by elaborate carved wooden frames, deep button tufting, and curved silhouettes often inspired by earlier Rococo and Renaissance revivals.

These pieces typically feature solid timber frames such as walnut or mahogany, traditionally hand-sprung interiors with horsehair stuffing, and hand-tufted upholstery secured with twine.

Authenticity is indicated by traditional hand-carved woodwork, period-appropriate joinery, hand-tied coil springs, and wear consistent with age on the wooden elements and frame.

An antique settee serves as a striking focal point in a contemporary living space when paired with minimalist modern tables and neutral walls to let the historic craftsmanship stand out.

Preserve velvet by keeping it out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, brushing the pile gently to maintain its texture, and relying on professional cleaning rather than liquid treatments.
