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

French provincial furniture emerged during the 17th and 18th centuries in regional France, adapting sophisticated Parisian court styles into more practical, locally crafted pieces using native woods like walnut and fruitwood.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from solid walnut or fruitwoods, often featuring traditional joinery such as dovetails, pegged mortise and tenon joints, and hand-carved scalloped details.

Authenticity is identified through period-appropriate joinery, hand-planed timber surfaces, natural patination, and the absence of modern machine-cut marks or synthetic adhesives.

Pair the warm wood tones with neutral wall colours, mix stacked books with sculptural ceramics, and allow breathing room on the shelves to balance historical character with contemporary minimalism.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the finish.
