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.
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.
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.

Early 19th-century giltwood stools typically feature hand-carved wooden frames coated in gesso and gold leaf, incorporating Neo-Classical or Rococo Revival design motifs such as acanthus leaves, cabriole legs, and scrollwork.

These pieces were built using solid carved timber frames coated with layers of gesso paste, finished with thin leaves of genuine gold, and finished with decorative textile upholstery over horsehair or natural padding.

Authentic period giltwood often displays natural wear where the underlying clay bole or white gesso ground shows through the gold leaf, alongside signs of hand-carving irregularities rather than cast resin elements.

An antique giltwood stool functions as an accent piece when positioned at the foot of a bed, within a fireplace alcove, or alongside a sofa to introduce texture and warmth.

Clean giltwood gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to avoid flaking the gold leaf, keep the piece away from direct heat sources, and vacuum upholstery gently using a low-suction attachment.
