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

Georgian style yew wood furniture is characterised by fine proportions, classical symmetry, and the utilization of yew timber, prized for its distinctive grain figures and warm colour tones.

These pieces were typically constructed from hardwoods such as yew, oak, or mahogany, utilizing solid timber framing alongside decorative grain veneers, brass hardware, and hand-cut joinery.

Authentic period craftsmanship is indicated by hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, historic wood shrinkage along panel joints, natural oxidisation on the timber, and hand-cast brass fittings.

Position the piece as an accent focus in a hallway, bedroom, or study, pairing the rich wood tones with contemporary artwork, understated lighting, or neutral wall colours.

Regularly dust the surface using a dry, soft cloth and apply high-quality beeswax sparingly along the grain, keeping the item away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid drying out the timber.
