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.

FAQs

The George I style, spanning the early 18th century, is characterised by a transition from heavier walnut designs to more refined, fluid lines, featuring prominent cabriole legs and pad or claw-and-ball feet.

Cabinet makers predominantly used figured walnut, often incorporating mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved details, and upholstered drop-in seats secured with brass tacks.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate tool marks, traditional timber shrinkage, historic patina, and construction methods consistent with early 18th-century joinery rather than modern machinery.

Pairing this historic seating with contemporary minimalist furniture or placing it as a singular accent piece creates a balanced, layered aesthetic that highlights its architectural form.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels, avoid direct sunlight to protect the wood and upholstery, and periodically feed the timber with appropriate conservation-grade wax.
