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.

FAQs

The George III period spans from 1760 to 1820, characterised by refined classical proportions, high-quality timber selection such as mahogany, and skilled cabinet-making techniques influenced by designers like Chippendale, Sheraton, and Hepplewhite.

These pieces typically feature solid timber frames with figured mahogany veneers applied to secondary woods like pine or oak, incorporating dovetailed drawer construction and cast brass hardware.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage patterns, original brass fittings, secondary wood types, and the presence of hand-planed surfaces rather than modern machine tooling.

Pair the rich wood tones with neutral wall colours, contemporary lighting, and minimalist seating to create a balanced aesthetic that highlights the historical craftsmanship without overwhelming the space.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer cracking, and apply natural beeswax periodically to nourish the surface without building up synthetic residues.
