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

Emerging during the reign of King Charles II (16601685), Carolean style furniture features detailed wood carving, twist-turned legs, and woven cane panels, reflecting the decorative changes of the Restoration period.

These pieces typically utilise dense hardwoods such as walnut or oak, incorporating foliate scroll carvings, heraldic crests, barley twist turning, and woven cane panels fitted into the backrest frame and seat.

Authentic and period revival examples exhibit hand-carved scrollwork, deep barley twist turnings, traditional mortise and tenon joinery at frame intersections, and cane work threaded through drilled perimeter holes.

Position this structured settee in an entryway, hallway, or along a main wall, balancing dark carved timber with light walls, minimalist artwork, or linen textiles.

Dust carved areas with a soft-bristled brush, nourish the timber periodically with natural beeswax, and maintain stable room humidity to prevent the woven cane panels from drying out.
