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 late 18th century, Swedish Gustavian design adapted French Neoclassicism into muted, painted finishes, featuring clean lines, restrained carving, and functional elegance tailored to Scandinavian light.

These pieces were typically constructed from native softwoods like pine or spruce, framed with hand-dovetailed drawer joints, and finished with layered tempera or oil-based paints to conceal plain timber grains.

Authentic pieces display evidence of historical wear on high-touch areas, layered paint finishes over hand-planed timber, original brass or iron hardware, and hand-cut joinery inside drawer boxes.

Pair the desk with a contemporary task chair or a simple upholstered side chair, positioning it against a neutral wall to allow the distressed patina and architectural silhouette to serve as a focal point.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or water, keep away from direct sunlight and radiators, and apply microcrystalline wax sparingly to preserve the painted patina.
