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

Originating in the early 18th century during the reign of Queen Anne, this style emphasizes visual lightness, graceful lines, and figured wood veneers. Key characteristics include cabriole or bracket feet, gentle curves, breakfront silhouettes, and restrained decoration prioritizing rich timber grain over heavy carving.

Traditional construction utilizes figured walnut or burr walnut veneers laid over solid pine or oak frames. Common joinery techniques include hand-cut dovetails on internal drawers, glazed panels secured with moulded astragal glazing bars, and pull-out brush or candle slides above the doors.

Look for hand-finished timber surfaces, period-correct brass drop handles or escutcheon plates, and signs of hand-planed timber on the back panels. Glazed doors will usually show individual glass panes fitted within timber astragal bars rather than a single modern glass sheet with stuck-on trim.

A low breakfront bookcase functions well beneath oversized contemporary artwork or a large wall mirror. Balance the rich walnut grain by topping the piece with sculptural ceramics, brass lighting, or modern books, bridging historical craftsmanship with clean modern lines.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfiber cloth and apply a high-quality natural beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain the timbers moisture. Avoid placing walnut furniture in direct sunlight or near radiator heat sources to prevent veneer lifting and uneven colour bleaching.
