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

Regency furniture, spanning roughly from 1811 to 1820, is characterised by classical antiquity influences, fine timbers such as mahogany and rosewood, and restrained ornamentation reflecting Greek, Roman, and Egyptian motifs.

Cabinet makers predominantly used dense tropical hardwoods like solid mahogany and mahogany veneers, frequently accented with brass fittings, adjustable ratchets, and subtle turned or reeded details.

Authentication relies on examining timber grain, hand-cut dovetail joints, brass screw heads, patination accumulated over centuries, and traditional construction methods consistent with early 19th-century workshops.

Position the stand as a functional accent piece in a study or living area, using its sloped surface to display open art books, sheet music, or current reading material alongside contemporary furnishings.

Maintain timber condition by keeping pieces away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying pure beeswax to nourish the wood without sealing the finish.
