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 style beds feature asymmetrical curves, serpentine top rails, elaborate shell or rocaille hand-carvings, and short cabriole legs. Originating in 18th-century France, the style prioritises fluid lines and naturalistic ornamentation over rigid symmetry.

French cabinetmakers favoured dense hardwoods such as walnut, oak, beech, and various fruitwoods for constructing these bedsteads. Solid timber allowed for detailed hand-carving along the crestings, aprons, and footboard panels.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, historical tool marks on unexposed backings, and original peg construction. Examination of the wood grain and natural oxidisation around carved relief sections also aids identification.

A carved walnut bed frame serves as a focal point when paired with crisp neutral linen bedding, subtle lime-washed or plastered walls, and minimalist contemporary nightstands. Combining rich timber textures with understated fabrics prevents the space from feeling overly ornate.

Maintain the finish by dusting routinely with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year to feed the timber. Keep the bedstead away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent wood shrinkage or splitting.
