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 half tester bed features a canopy framework extending over the head of the bed rather than covering the entire length, originating in the 19th century to support decorative drapery and retain heat.

Victorian brass beds were manufactured using solid spun or cast brass tubing mounted over an iron sub-frame, often adorned with lacquered finishes and turned cast metal fittings.

Authentic antique brass beds typically exhibit heavy cast brass joint connections, original threaded steel tie-rods, hand-turned posts, and signs of natural oxidisation rather than modern uniform electroplating.

A half tester bed can serve as a focal point by pairing it with crisp, neutral linens and minimalist wall colours to contrast the architectural brass geometry.

To maintain antique brass, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical abrasives that can strip historical lacquer coatings or natural patina.
