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

A camelback sofa is a formal seating design characterised by an undulating backrest that rises to a central crest, originally popularised in 18th-century English furniture making.

Frames are constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany or walnut, while upholstery typically features rich woven fabrics such as silk damask, brocade, or velvet supported by traditional webbing and springs.

Authentic examples feature carved details on the legs and scroll arms, hand-cut joinery on the underside timber framing, and proportioned curves consistent with historical cabinetmaking standards.

Position the piece as a focal point in a living space alongside streamlined contemporary furniture, balancing the dramatic historic silhouette with minimalist lighting and neutral wall finishes.

Vacuum fabric gently using a low-suction soft brush attachment, keep the upholstery away from direct light to minimise fading, and preserve mahogany timber using clear beeswax polish applied along the grain.
