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

Originating in late 17th-century Britain, William and Mary style furniture is recognised for Dutch and French influences, featuring complex floral or seaweed marquetry, rich walnut veneers, double-domed tops, turned legs, and compressed ball or bun feet.

These pieces were typically constructed with an oak carcase layered with thick burr walnut or fruitwood veneers. Decorative inlays used contrasting woods cut into intricate floral patterns, while hand-cut dovetail joints secured the drawers.

Authentic period pieces show evidence of hand-sawing on veneer backs, uneven shrinkage cracks along the grain, original hand-forged iron locks, oak drawer linings, and natural oxidisation inside timber compartments.

A bureau bookcase acts as a focal statement in a study or reception room. Position it against a neutral wall to highlight the elaborate marquetry patterns, and style the lower desk area open or closed to suit contemporary working needs.

Preserve walnut furniture by keeping it in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent veneer lifting. Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax sparingly to protect timber finish.
