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

Washstands became essential bedroom items during the Victorian era, designed to hold a basin and jug for personal hygiene before plumbed bathrooms were common.

They were typically crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, often featuring inset marble slabs on the top surface to resist water damage.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, secondary woods like pine or oak in non-visible areas, and natural ageing like oxidation on the timber.

A vintage washstand functions well as a distinctive sideboard in a hallway or as a characterful bathroom vanity paired with modern brass fixtures.

Maintain the wood by dusting with a dry lint-free cloth and periodically applying a traditional beeswax polish, while avoiding exposure to direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
