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

The Chippendale style draws inspiration from Rococo, Chinese, and Gothic motifs, typically featuring asymmetrical scrolling, C-scrolls, acanthus leaves, and elaborate pierced woodwork.

Frames were typically constructed from carved pine or softwood, finished with layers of gesso, and meticulously water-gilded or oil-gilded with gold leaf.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate hand-carving, traditional joinery, foxing or oxidisation on the original mercury or silvered glass plates, and aged gesso showing characteristic craquelure.

Positioning the piece above a traditional fireplace mantel or contrasting it against a minimalist, neutral painted wall creates a striking focal point that balances historical weight with modern simplicity.

Dust gently with a dry, soft brush and avoid liquid cleaners, ammonia, or moisture, as these can damage the delicate historical gilt surface and original mirror plating.
