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 conversation seat, also known as a tete-a-tete or confidante, originated in the 19th century as a specialized sofa designed to allow two people to converse face-to-face while seated side-by-side.

These seats were typically constructed from solid cabinet woods such as walnut, rosewood, or mahogany, featuring hand-carved frames, serpentine aprons, and traditional spring upholstery.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display hand-cut joinery, period oxidation on the frame undersides, original ceramic or brass castors, and characteristic Rococo Revival foliate carving.

Position the seat in an entrance hall, bay window, or at the foot of a bed to create a focal point, pairing the carved wood frame with neutral walls or classic panelling.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply beeswax periodically along the wood grain, and protect the upholstered fabric from direct sunlight.
