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 XVI style furniture is defined by Neoclassical symmetry, straight lines, and inspiration from Greco-Roman antiquity. Common design elements include fluted tapered legs, carved rosette blocks, and geometric frame mouldings.

Frames were typically carved from solid hardwoods such as walnut, beech, or oak, often left natural, gilded, or painted. Cushioning traditionally utilised natural materials like horsehair and hessian, covered in silk, tapestry, or velvet upholstery.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved decorative motifs, traditional mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs, and natural wear patterns along the frame edges. The undersides of the timber frame often reveal hand-sawn wood marks.

A carved period armchair serves as a textured focal point when positioned alongside minimalist contemporary sofas or neutral background walls. Mixing structured antique seating with modern lighting creates a balanced, curated aesthetic.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly to preserve the wood finish. Gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment maintains velvet upholstery, keeping it away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
