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

Originating in the seventeenth century for Knole House in Kent, a Knole sofa is a high-backed settee featuring adjustable drop-down arms originally designed to exclude drafts and maintain privacy.

Traditional Knole sofas feature solid timber frames, horsehair or spring stuffing, luxury fabric upholstery such as velvet or damask, and decorative braided ties attached to exposed wooden finials.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved wooden finials, heavy tie ropes or tassels securing the hinged side arms, traditional webbing, and dense natural fibre or coil-spring construction.

A Knole sofa serves as a dramatic focal piece when paired with minimalist contemporary side tables, neutral walls, and simple wool throws to balance its formal historical profile.

Vacuum the fabric gently using a low-suction soft brush attachment, position the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, and address stains using specialist dry cleaning methods.
