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

Louis XVI style seating is defined by Neoclassical architectural influence, featuring straight fluted or reeded legs, symmetrical frames, carved rosette corner blocks, and classical decorative motifs such as guilloche moulding.

Giltwood stools were crafted from carved hardwoods such as beech or lime wood, coated with gesso and bole, finished with gold leaf gilding, and fitted with webbed upholstered seating.

Authentic period gilding typically displays natural wear showing the reddish-brown bole or white gesso layers beneath, hand-carved joinery details on the interior frame, and slight surface oxidisation consistent with age.

A giltwood stool functions effectively placed at the foot of a bed, beneath an entryway console, or used as an accent piece in a dressing area to add textural contrast.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasive cloths which can strip fragile gold leaf and underlying gesso.
