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

Art Deco furniture, prominent during the 1920s and 1930s, is characterised by bold geometric silhouettes, clean symmetry, linear detailing, and the use of rich wood veneers such as walnut and mahogany.

Craftsmen typically utilised figured walnut or burr veneers laid over solid wood carcasses, combined with clear sheet glass, interior glass shelves, and discrete metal escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature distinctive geometric shapes, hand-applied wood veneers, period-appropriate glass glazing retainers, and subtle wear consistent with early 20th-century construction.

Placing the pair symmetrically on either side of a fireplace or central doorway provides architectural balance, while displaying monochrome ceramics inside creates clean visual contrast.

Apply a clear beeswax polish annually along the wood grain to protect the finish, and clean glass panels with a soft microfibre cloth to prevent moisture build-up on the timber framing.
