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.

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

A French gilt window seat is a decorative upholstered bench featuring a gilded wooden frame, traditionally placed within window recesses, corridors, or bedrooms in 18th and 19th-century French interiors.

These seats typically feature carved timber frames coated in gesso and gold leaf gilding, paired with woven upholstery fabrics such as silk brocade, velvet, or damask.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved wood joinery, subtle shrinkage gaps at joint connections, and natural age-related rubbing on the gold leaf revealing the coloured bole layer underneath.

Position the seat at the foot of a bed, within a grand hallway entrance, or in a bay window to serve as an elegant focal point contrasting with modern architectural elements.

Dust the gilded surfaces gently using a soft camel-hair brush or dry microfibre cloth, keeping moisture and liquid cleaners away to prevent damage to the delicate gesso base.
