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

Eighteenth-century Italian Rococo armchairs feature hand-carved wooden frames decorated with silver leaf gilding, asymmetrical scrollwork, and curvilinear profiles popular across Mediterranean estates.

Frames were carved from hardwoods such as walnut or beech, coated in gesso, and finished with silver leaf layers that oxidise into a muted metallic tone over time.

Authentic examples demonstrate hand-pegged joinery, natural wear to the gilding exposing the underlying red or grey bole, and structural oxidisation rather than uniform paint.

Positioning silver gilt armchairs alongside minimal modern artwork or within a transitional entrance hall balances historic carving with modern lines.

Keep gilded wood away from damp environments and direct sunlight, dusting lightly with a dry soft brush while avoiding liquid polish.
