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.

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

French Rococo and Rococo Revival seating is defined by fluid asymmetrical curves, ornate hand-carved floral or figural crestings, and parcel-gilt or painted finishes. Designed for intimate spaces such as boudoirs and salons, these pieces feature delicate proportions and decorative textiles like silk damask or brocade.

Frames were typically carved from hardwoods such as beech or walnut before being prepared with gesso and water-gilded with gold leaf or accented with paint. Upholstery traditionally incorporated horsehair padding, hand-tied springs, woven cane panels, and silk brocade or velvet fabrics.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved mortise-and-tenon joints, subtle irregularities in the wood carving, and natural wear or red bole showing through aged gilding. The underside of the frame often displays historic tool marks, hand-cut dowels, and evidence of traditional webbed upholstery construction.

A French giltwood settee works as a focal point at the foot of a bed, within a grand hallway, or alongside contemporary minimalist architecture to create visual contrast. Pairing ornate gilded woodwork with neutral wall tones and simplified textiles balances classic detail with modern interior layouts.

Giltwood frames should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaners that can lift gold leaf and dissolve gesso. Silk upholstery requires protection from direct sunlight to prevent fibre degradation and fading, alongside occasional professional dry vacuuming using a low-suction attachment.
