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

Rococo Revival seating from the 19th century features exaggerated curves, elaborate gilding, cabriole legs, and motif carvings such as scrolls, shells, and foliage inspired by 18th-century French designs.

These pieces were typically carved from hardwoods such as beech or walnut, coated with layers of gesso plaster, and finished with water gilding using thin gold leaf before being upholstered in silk, velvet, or wool.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery, natural wear or cracking on the gesso layer (craquelure), exposed red or grey bole beneath worn gold leaf, and traditional hand-stitched horsehair padding inside the upholstery.

A gilded occasional chair serves as a focal accent in modern spaces when placed in a dressing room, bedroom corner, or hallway, contrasting effectively against neutral walls and clean-lined contemporary furniture.

Dust the gilded timber gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding water or liquid cleaners that can dissolve the gesso ground. Keep the item away from direct sunlight, radiators, and high humidity to prevent timber warping and flaking gilding.
