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

Louis XV Revival furniture features sweeping cabriole legs, serpentine outlines, and complex geometric parquetry veneering using contrasting hardwoods, frequently embellished with cast brass or gilt-bronze mounts.

Craftspeople utilised diverse timber veneers, including walnut, kingwood, and rosewood, precisely hand-cut into repeating geometric patterns over a solid wood frame, detailed with gilt-bronze (ormolu) fittings.

Authentic pieces display fine dovetail joinery, hand-chased metal mounts fastened with period-appropriate screws, precise veneer alignment, and occasionally stamped maker marks or brass trade plaques from established workshops.

Position the table as a focal point in a modern study or hallway, juxtaposing its intricate marquetry against plain walls and pairing it with understated minimalist decorative accents.

Protect the surface from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to prevent veneer lifting, dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and apply a high-grade beeswax paste sparingly to nourish the wood.
