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.

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 Revival furniture, popular from the late 19th to early 20th century, draws inspiration from Thomas Sheratons late 18th-century designs. Key traits include light-coloured timbers such as satinwood, geometric marquetry, painted floral motifs, slender proportions, and glass door tracery.

Breakfront bookcases from the Georgian and Edwardian eras commonly utilise primary timbers like satinwood, mahogany, or walnut, often accented with hand-painted decoration, floral cartouches, or timber veneers. Glass glazing and brass pull handles or locks complete the construction.

Authentic painted decoration exhibits age-appropriate patina, light craquelure, and slight fading consistent with wood movement over time. The brushwork follows traditional motifs such as garlands, bow-knots, and floral ovals, showing natural wear on raised contact surfaces.

A substantial breakfront cabinet serves as an architectural anchor in a formal living room, hallway, or home library. The glazed side sections allow display of ceramics or bound books, while panelled cupboards provide concealed storage.

Satinwood with painted details should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood movement and pigment fading. Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes.
