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

A 19th-century spindle-back sofa features an openwork gallery formed of turned wooden spindles supporting the upper backrest and arms, often paired with deep-buttoned upholstery and turned legs on brass castors.

Victorian settees were typically constructed with solid hardwood frames, such as walnut, mahogany, or oak, featuring hand-turned spindles, natural leather upholstery, horsehair filling, and brass studding.

Authentic 19th-century seating displays period construction markers including hand-turned wooden elements, original iron or brass castors, hand-tacked studding, and natural wear or patination to the timber and leather.

Position the sofa against a neutral or dark backdrop to highlight the open architectural spindles, pairing it with woven textiles or contemporary minimal side tables to balance the detailed woodwork.

Leather upholstery should be treated periodically with a specialized leather conditioner and kept away from direct heat sources, while the timber spindles require regular dusting and light waxing with beeswax.
