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

Authenticity is determined by examining tool marks, hand-turned inconsistencies in the wood, period-appropriate joinery techniques, and natural ageing, wear, and patina on both the timber and the leather upholstery.

This piece works well as a grounding focal point in a study or living room, pairing naturally with textured wool cushions, neutral walls, and contemporary or mid-century elements to create a balanced interior.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources, regularly dusting the wooden frame, and occasionally applying professional leather conditioner to prevent the hide from drying out and cracking.

These pieces were typically constructed using native hardwoods such as oak or elm for the frame, joined with traditional mortise and tenon construction, and upholstered in natural vegetable-tanned leather secured with metal tacks.

Bobbin-turned furniture, characterised by its spool-like turned spindles, gained prominence during the 17th century in England and reflects early craftsmanship that utilised simple lathes to shape wood into repeating spherical motifs.
