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

Swedish furniture design from this period draws on Biedermeier and Neoclassical influences, characterised by clean geometric lines, light wood finishes, and an emphasis on displaying the natural grain of native timbers such as flame or satin birch.

These pieces typically feature softwood carcases veneered with highly figured flame birch or satin birch, joined using hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer boxes and fitted with brass or iron keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic pieces exhibit genuine veneer depth with natural chatoyancy, age-appropriate wear to drawer runners, traditional dovetail joinery, and original keyhole escutcheons, often accompanied by Swedish cabinetmaker marks or stamps on the rear.

The warm golden tones and clean silhouette allow a Swedish birch chest to complement neutral modern colour schemes, functioning effectively alongside minimalist decor, contemporary linen upholstery, or contrasting dark hardwood elements.

Preserve the veneer by keeping the furniture away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent shrinkage or cracking, and apply a clear beeswax polish periodically along the direction of the wood grain.
