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.
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.
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.

Kingwood furniture from this period is defined by rich, dark violet-brown tones with prominent straight striping, often applied in book-matched veneer patterns. High-end pieces frequently draw upon Louis XV and XVI designs, incorporating elaborate gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts, serpentine contours, and decorative marquetry or lacquered tops.

These tables were typically constructed with solid oak or mahogany cores veneered in exotic timbers such as kingwood, tulipwood, or rosewood. Ornamental features include cast brass or bronze mounts (ormolu), often fire-gilded, along with inlaid marquetry panels or decorative leather tops.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display hand-cut dovetails, secondary oak drawer linings, and hand-chased metal mounts with authentic age-related patination or oxidisation. Look for natural shrinkage lines along veneer seams and evidence of hand-planed timber underneath.

A French centre table serves as an ideal focal point in a formal entryway, a bay window, or an empty corner space. The ornate metalwork and dark wood veneers complement minimalist modern seating, adding texture and historical contrast to contemporary interiors.

Maintain wood veneers by dusting with a clean microfibre cloth and applying clear beeswax sparingly along the grain. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer lift, and clean metal ormolu mounts with a dry soft-bristle brush without abrasive polish.
