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 Louis XV style is characterised by graceful curved lines, asymmetry, floral and natural motifs, and a transition from the heavy symmetry of earlier periods to lighter, more organic forms.

These pieces typically utilized local hardwoods such as oak or walnut, often featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged construction, and brass hardware with mortise and tenon joinery.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut joinery, tool marks, traditional timber shrinkage, period-correct hardware, and overall patina consistent with age and manual fabrication.

An antique tall chest provides vertical contrast in modern spaces; pair it with minimalist decor, neutral walls, and contemporary lighting to highlight its historical texture without overwhelming the room.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it out of direct sunlight, avoiding extreme humidity fluctuations, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the surface finish.
