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 XV revival furniture, produced during the late 19th century, incorporates serpentine curves, slender cabriole legs, floral marquetry, and gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts reflecting 18th-century Rococo aesthetic traditions.

Craftsmen typically utilised hardwoods such as kingwood, rosewood, and tulipwood for delicate marquetry veneers, paired with cast brass or bronze ormolu mounts and insert leather writing surfaces.

Authentic late 19th-century pieces display hand-cut wood veneers, detailed chased ormolu fittings with natural patination, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and expected wear along writing surfaces and foot mounts.

Position the desk as a focal piece against a neutral wall, paired with modern minimalist accent lighting or a modern chair to create an intentional contrast between period styles.

Keep the desk away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer movement, apply natural beeswax regularly to wood surfaces, and clean the leather writing insert with specialist leather balm.
