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

A lit repos, or French daybed, developed during the 18th and 19th centuries as an upholstered recline-seating piece intended for daytime resting in private boudoirs, salons, or window recesses.

These pieces were typically constructed with solid carved hardwood frames, such as walnut, beech, or oak, and upholstered using horsehair padding, steel springs, and natural fabrics like silk, velvet, or linen.

Authentic period examples feature hand-carved detailing such as foliate scrolls or cabriole legs, traditional peg-and-tenon frame joinery, and natural age-related wear or oxidisation on the exposed timber framework.

A daybed works effectively positioned beneath a large window, as a low-profile room divider in open-plan spaces, or placed at the foot of a bed to add architectural structure.

Maintain the fabric by gently vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, keep the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, and apply clear beeswax to carved timber frames annually.
