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.
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.
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.

Swedish painted furniture from the 19th century typically features native softwoods decorated with distemper or oil paints. Designs were crafted to emulate costlier hardwoods or imported European styles, using lighter colour palettes to maximize ambient light in northern Scandinavian homes during winter.

Traditional Scandinavian chests were constructed using slow-grown northern pine or fir. Joinery relied on hand-cut dovetails, solid wood backboards, painted surface finishes, and turned timber knobs or hand-forged iron hardware.

Authentic period pieces exhibit age-appropriate wear to the paint layer, hand-planed timber surfaces on cabinet backs and drawer bottoms, and traditional dovetail construction. Original finishes often display natural craquelure and patina around high-touch areas like handles and top edges.

Position the piece against neutral, plastered walls to highlight its original paint tone and profile. Pair the textured timber finish with contemporary ceramics, minimal lighting, or framed natural history prints for a balanced contrast.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, keeping the surface free of excess moisture. Avoid chemical solvents, harsh abrasives, or positioning the item near active heat sources which can cause the pine timber to shrink or split.
