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

Aesthetic Movement furniture, popular in the late nineteenth century, emphasizes simple geometric forms, thoughtful proportions, and decorative craftsmanship rather than heavy Victorian ornamentation. It frequently features light woods, ebonised accents, and Japanese design influences.

Cabinetmakers typically used fine hardwoods such as satin birch, mahogany, or walnut, often incorporating gilt-brass hardware, leather writing surfaces, and hand-dovetailed drawer joinery on brass castors.

Authentic Howard and Sons pieces often feature maker stamps or printed labels on drawer edges, leg tops, or castors. Additionally, high-precision drawer joinery, distinctive turned leg profiles, and stamped brass castors indicate genuine manufacture.

Position the writing table in a home office or bedroom alcove paired with a sleek modern task chair. Minimalist brass lighting and modern desk accessories contrast effectively with the warm wood tones and leather top.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent drying or fading. Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly to the woodwork, and treat the leather inset with a specialised leather conditioner.
