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

The Arts and Crafts movement emerged in the late 19th century as a reaction against mass production, championing traditional craftsmanship, structural simplicity, and the visible use of natural materials.

Solid native hardwoods such as oak, elm, and chestnut are predominant, frequently paired with hand-beaten copper, brass hardware, and leather inserts.

Authentic pieces typically feature visible hand-crafted joinery like mortise and tenon joints, honest construction methods, minimal ornamentation, and period-appropriate hardware.

Pair the piece with contemporary seating to create a striking contrast, or anchor it within a study alongside minimalist lighting to highlight the natural wood grain.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and periodically apply natural beeswax to nourish and protect the finish.
