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.

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

George II furniture, dating from roughly 1727 to 1760, is defined by the extensive use of dense Cuban mahogany, cabriole legs, pad or ball-and-claw feet, and intricate hand-carved back splats featuring scrolls and strapwork.

Primary construction utilised solid mahogany timber due to its strength and carving capabilities, combined with hand-mortised joinery and wool, silk, or velvet seat upholstery over horsehair stuffing.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut mortise and tenon joints with wooden pegs, subtle asymmetry in hand-carved elements, structural wear consistent with age, and natural dark oxidisation on unpolished under-surfaces.

A period side chair works well as an accent piece in a contemporary hallway, paired with a modern writing desk, or placed in the corner of a bedroom to contrast historic craftsmanship with minimalist lines.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality natural beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources.
