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

Gustavian furniture originated in late eighteenth and nineteenth-century Sweden, heavily influenced by French Neoclassicism. Key characteristics include pale painted finishes, restrained carved details like Greek key or fluting, and balanced linear symmetry adapted for Nordic light.

These pieces were typically crafted using native softwoods, predominantly Scandinavian pine or fir. The surfaces were treated with milk paint or distemper in soft grey, blue, or muted cream shades, complemented by hand-cast brass hardware.

Authentic period examples feature hand-dovetailed drawer joints, hand-planed back panels, and natural wear patterns in the paint layers. Look for aged oxidisation on exposed timber underneath and original brass ring pulls with historic patination.

A pair of low commodes works effectively as oversized bedside tables or as symmetrical flankers beside a doorway. The muted painted finish balances modern minimalist upholstery, contemporary artwork, and natural textile rugs.

Dust gently using a dry, lint-free microfibre cloth to prevent scratching the delicate painted patina. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, excess moisture, or direct heat sources, which cause wood shrinkage and paint flaking.
