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 style furniture, originating in early 19th-century Britain, is defined by classical proportions, neoclassical motifs, rich wood veneers like rosewood and mahogany, and brass inlaid or mounted embellishments.

Craftsmen typically utilised high-grade rosewood, mahogany, and satinwood veneers over solid oak or pine frames, frequently accessorised with brass galleries, star mounts, and mirror plate backings.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary woods, original brass fittings with natural oxidisation, and characterful wear consistent with age along the timber edges.

Position the piece against a neutral backdrop to allow the deep wood grain to stand out, balancing stacked leather-bound books with contemporary ceramic vessels and sculptural accents on open shelves.

Apply high-grade beeswax paste sparingly along the wood grain once or twice a year, avoid placing the unit near direct heat sources, and clean glass or mirror inserts with a dry microfibre cloth.
