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

FAQs

Preserve the condition by keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources, applying appropriate leather balms periodically, and dusting the timber with a dry cloth.

Pairing this piece with neutral tones, minimalist surroundings, or industrial elements highlights its historical character while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic balance.

Authenticity is determined by traditional joinery methods, natural patina on the wood and leather, hand-forged or applied hardware, and weight appropriate to solid timber construction.

Makers of this era frequently utilised solid hardwoods such as beech and oak, paired with high-grade vegetable-tanned leather and secured with decorative metal studs.

Art Deco emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by sleek geometric shapes, streamlined forms, and a fusion of traditional craftsmanship with industrial materials.
