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

George II seating from the mid-18th century is distinguished by the prominent use of Cuban mahogany, pierced back splats, balanced classical proportions, and curved arm supports designed to accommodate period attire.

Primary timbers included dense, high-grade mahogany, constructed using mortise and tenon joinery. Drop-in or fixed seats were traditionally upholstered in wool needlepoint, tapestry, or leather over horsehair padding.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawed construction marks, dark natural oxidisation on unpolished under-sections, hand-shaped back splats, and original iron or brass fixings consistent with 18th-century manufacturing techniques.

A single period armchair serves effectively as a accent piece at a contemporary writing desk, placed in a reading nook, or positioned as a side chair alongside modern upholstered sofas.

Apply clear beeswax annually to protect the mahogany framework, avoid placement near direct heat sources or sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage, and vacuum tapestry upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment.
