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.

FAQs

The Arts and Crafts movement originated in Britain during the late 19th century, championing traditional craftsmanship, hand-working methods, and honest materials over mass production.

Pieces from this era typically combine solid local hardwoods, such as oak, with hand-beaten non-ferrous metals like copper and brass, fastened with visible rivets or copper tacks.

Authentic pieces often display subtle hand-hammered marks in the repousse work, variations in natural timber grain, and traditional joinery rather than modern mechanical fixings.

Such decorative objects work effectively on a desktop, side table, or open shelf, adding tactile warmth and historical texture to both traditional and modern minimalist spaces.

Maintain the timber with a microcrystalline wax to nourish the grain, and gently dust the metal without using harsh chemical polishes that strip the natural ageing oxidation.
