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

Italian Rococo furniture, prominent during the eighteenth century, is characterised by ornate carving, theatrical curves, elaborate gilded finishes, and botanical or mythological motifs. Pieces often feature asymmetrical elements, delicate scrollwork, and rich upholstery linings to reflect light and luxury.

Traditional giltwood pieces were crafted using carved softwoods or hardwoods coated with layers of gesso and bole before gold leaf application. Secondary materials typically include velvet or silk textile linings along the troughs and brass castors attached to the base of the legs for mobility.

Authentic giltwood displays subtle cracking or red-tinged bole showing through areas of natural handling wear, known as burnishing. Inspection of the joinery beneath reveals hand-carved wood grain and historical construction techniques rather than modern molded resin.

A gilded book trough works well positioned adjacent to an armchair or sofa to store large art volumes, journals, or architectural folios. Its metallic finish adds warm texture to contemporary living rooms, study spaces, or reading nooks.

Dust giltwood surfaces gently with a soft feather duster, avoiding water or liquid chemical polish which can dissolve the water gilding layer. Velvet linings should be cleaned using a soft brush or gentle suction from a vacuum attachment.
