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

Louis XVI style bedsteads typically feature rectilinear frames, classical symmetry, fluted columns or posts, and restrained decorative carving such as leaf or ribbon motifs, contrasting with the fluid curves of the earlier Louis XV era.

These bedsteads are commonly crafted from hardwoods such as beech or oak, finished with light grey or off-white paint, and fitted with padded fabric panels made from linen, silk, or cotton.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved classical motifs, straight tapered or fluted corner posts, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and natural wear or patination on the painted surface over time.

A pair of painted single bedsteads can be placed side-by-side in a guest bedroom with crisp neutral bedding, soft wall tones, and subtle metallic accents to create a refined classical aesthetic.

Clean the painted frame regularly using a dry, soft cloth while avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners, and vacuum the fabric upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment to remove dust.
