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

Nineteenth-century country house furniture is characterised by generous proportions, deep seating, and comfortable, utilitarian design tailored for large rural estates and stately homes.

These pieces typically feature robust hardwood frames, traditional coil spring suspension, hand-stitched webbing, and horsehair stuffing, covered in durable heavy-weight textiles.

Authenticity is identified through traditional hand-tied joinery, natural stuffing materials, hand-forged or turned wooden feet, and signs of age-appropriate wear and oxidisation on the internal webbing and frame.

Pair the substantial proportions of the sofa with minimalist modern lighting and neutral walls to let the historical craftsmanship stand out as a focal point.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently using a low-suction attachment, and periodically condition exposed wooden components with appropriate conservation wax.
