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.

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

Swedish Neoclassical furniture, popular during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, combines classical Roman and Greek motifs with refined restraint, often featuring mahogany frames, gilt-bronze mounts, and architectural proportions.

Craftsmen primarily utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany or fruitwoods, embellished with brass or ormolu mounts, cast metallic caryatids, and upholstered seats featuring natural linen, silk, or cotton fabrics.

Authentic pieces exhibit traditional joinery techniques such as hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, natural age-related patina on gilt metalwork, and classical ornamental details like carved lion paws, sphinxes, or rosette mounts.

Pair these structured seating options with clean-lined contemporary sofas, neutral woven rugs, and minimalist architecture to allow the rich timber tones and ornate brass details to serve as sophisticated focal points.

Clean timber surfaces using a soft dry cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish sparingly, while avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners on brass mounts to preserve the historic patination.
