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

The George III style spans the second half of the 18th century, characterised by classical proportions, refined craftsmanship, and the prominent use of high-quality imported timbers such as mahogany.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid timber and high-grade veneers, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged framing, and traditional glass glazing bars.

Authenticity is determined by examining timber shrinkage, hand-planed secondary woods, original brass hardware or fixing points, and period-appropriate glass characteristics.

Balance the visual weight of dark timber by styling the interior shelving with neutral or colour-coordinated books and objects to maintain a sophisticated focal point.

Protect the timber by maintaining stable humidity levels away from direct sunlight, and nourish the surface periodically with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
