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.

FAQs

Keep walnut furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and maintain the finish by occasionally applying microcrystalline wax while avoiding silicone-based polishes.

Pair the traditional dark wood with contemporary neutral walls, minimalist seating, and subtle metallic accessories to create a balanced focal point that bridges historical character and modern minimalism.

Authentic pieces exhibit period construction traits such as hand-beveled drawer linings, original brasses or undisturbed fixing holes, timber shrinkage consistent with age, and hand-cut dovetailing rather than machine-made joints.

These pieces typically utilized native or imported hardwoods such as walnut, oak, and pine for secondary timbers, employing hand-cut dovetail joints, solid brass hardware, and crossbanding or marquetry veneers.

The George II style, spanning from 1727 to 1760, is characterised by a transition from heavy walnut designs to the refined mahogany eras of Chippendale, featuring architectural proportions, bracket feet, and understated inlay work.
