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

Preservation involves keeping the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, using specialised textile cleaning methods appropriate for the specific fabric, and periodically nourishing exposed wooden elements with suitable beeswax or furniture polish.

Pairing this traditional silhouette with minimalist or modern contemporary decor creates a balanced, eclectic aesthetic that highlights the historical craftsmanship while fitting modern living spaces.

Authenticity is determined by examining the frame construction for period-appropriate joinery, tool marks, hand-forged or early screws, wood ageing characteristics, and the density and type of internal stuffing materials.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-carved hardwood frames such as mahogany or walnut, traditional joinery, horsehair or wool stuffing, and hand-tied coil springs covered in high-quality textiles.

The camelback sofa originated in the 18th century, popularised by designers such as Thomas Chippendale during the Georgian period, characterised by its distinctive arched backrest that resembles a camels hump.
