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 George I period, spanning from 1714 to 1727, is characterised by architectural forms, the introduction of burr walnut veneers, and the transition from heavier walnut designs towards early mahogany furniture.

These pieces typically feature decorative burr walnut veneers applied over pine or oak secondary woods, constructed with dovetail joints on drawers and incorporating brass escutcheons and drop handles.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-cut dovetailing, old secondary timber underneath, hand-beveled mirror plates, and natural oxidisation and shrinkage cracks within the veneer layers.

This piece works effectively as a focal point in a traditional study or living space, paired with neutral walls to highlight the figured grain and contrasted with minimalist seating.

Maintenance requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting, alongside occasional application of traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
