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

Georgian furniture spans the reigns of the British Kings George I to IV (1714 to 1830), characterised by classical proportions, quality cabinetmaking, and a transition from walnut to mahogany as the primary timber.

Authentic period pieces typically utilise solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods like pine or oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer constructions and traditional brass hardware.

Authentication involves inspecting drawer linings for hand-cut dovetails, checking for uniform timber shrinkage, examining tool marks, and verifying that the hardware matches the period of manufacture.

This piece works well as a grounding focal point in a contemporary bedroom or hallway, contrasting clean modern walls with rich grain textures and historical craftsmanship.

Maintain timber furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood splitting, and nourish the surface periodically with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
