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

Nineteenth-century Irish Chippendale revival furniture is distinguished by deep, heavy carving on mahogany frames, often incorporating lion masks, acanthus leaves, and shell motifs, paired with cabriole legs and ball-and-claw feet.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from solid dense mahogany, prized for its grain and carving qualities, alongside secondary woods like pine or oak for internal framing and traditional horsehair upholstery stuffing.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved details with characteristic depth, period joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints, natural patination on unexposed timber, and sometimes maker stamps or labels from Dublin workshops.

An antique settee serves as a focal accent piece when paired with modern neutral textiles, positioned in a hallway, drawing room, or beneath a window to contrast historical wood craftsmanship with contemporary decor.

The timber frame should be dusted regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and nourished with beeswax polish, while the fabric upholstery requires gentle vacuuming with a brush attachment and professional spot cleaning when necessary.
