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

Faux bamboo furniture gained popularity in France during the mid-to-late 19th century, particularly during the Napoleon III era, driven by the European fascination with Asian design traditions known as Chinoiserie. Craftsmen carved hardwoods such as beechwood to simulate the natural nodes and jointing of bamboo, which were subsequently gilded or painted.

These chairs were constructed from carved European hardwoods like beech or pine, providing structural strength for lathe-turning and detail carving. The frames were assembled using traditional mortise and tenon joints, finished with gilding or lacquer, and fitted with webbed, padded upholstered seats.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved bamboo-style turnings with slight variations rather than uniform machine production. Look for natural wood shrinkage around frame joints, traditional upholstery methods underneath, and wear or oxidisation to the gilt finish that reveals the underlying gesso clay layer.

A pair of giltwood side chairs functions as accent seating flanking a console table, placed in a hallway, or positioned in a bedroom corner. Their carved silhouette and gilded finish provide a contrast when paired with modern, neutral interior schemes.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted using a dry microfibre cloth or soft brush. Avoid using liquid cleansers, water, or chemical solvents, as moisture can dissolve the underlying water-gilding size and damage the leaf finish.
