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.

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

Kidney-shaped seating gained popularity during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, designed with an ergonomic curved silhouette to fit snugly into bay windows or conversational groupings in formal drawing rooms.

Authentic period sofas typically feature a hand-carved hardwood frame, traditional coil springs tied by hand, horsehair or wool stuffing, and deep button-tufting upholstered in silk, damask, or velvet.

Authentication involves inspecting the frame construction for traditional joinery, examining the hand-tied springs, checking for signs of age and wear on the wood, and identifying period-appropriate upholstery tacks and textiles.

Pair this curved silhouette with minimalist contemporary furniture to create a striking contrast, using neutral walls to let the rich textile and organic shape serve as a focal point.

Protect the textile from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment to remove dust, and consult a professional conservator for deep cleaning or reupholstering.
