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

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

Gillows of Lancaster and London was renowned for high-quality craftsmanship, functional designs, and meticulous attention to detail, often marked by stamped makers marks on the wood.

Frames were typically constructed from sturdy hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, selected for their tensile strength and durability under tension from upholstery webbing and springs.

Authenticity is indicated by traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-turned wooden components, genuine patina on the timber, and often maker stamps or numbering.

Exposing the raw wooden skeleton offers an industrial or sculptural aesthetic, allowing it to function as a standalone decorative object or to be newly upholstered in contemporary fabrics for a contrasting transitional look.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels to prevent timber splitting, avoid direct sunlight, and periodically nourish dry wood with microcrystalline wax or suitable conservator-approved balms.
