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.

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity, occasionally applying a microcrystalline wax to protect the surface.

Display them in groups on a bookshelf, coffee table, or mantelpiece to add texture, history, and a focal point to contemporary interiors.

Authenticity is determined by tool marks, natural patina, wear patterns consistent with age, and traditional joinery or hinge mechanisms.

These items were predominantly crafted from dense native hardwoods such as boxwood, fruitwood, beech, and walnut.

Treen refers to small, functional wooden objects made by hand before the era of mass production, often featuring carved or turned designs.
