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

Sheraton style, popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is characterised by classical proportions, straight lines, contrasting veneers, and elegant inlay work inspired by neoclassical architecture.

Cabinetmakers primarily used solid timbers such as mahogany and satinwood, often enhanced with exotic veneer borders, fine brass hardware, and hand-blown crown glass for cabinet doors.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, secondary woods like pine or oak in non-visible areas, hand-turned brass pulls, and natural ageing like timber oxidisation.

This furniture piece pairs effectively with neutral wall colours and minimalist decor, allowing the rich wood grain and traditional craftsmanship to serve as a focal point in a study or living space.

Maintain antique wooden furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, applying microcrystalline wax periodically, and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.
