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.

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

Seating from the Belle Epoque era, spanning from the late nineteenth century to the start of the First World War, often combines fluid silhouettes with rich upholstery materials, drawing influence from historic French styles and early Art Nouveau forms.

Traditional French banquettes were constructed using carved hardwood frames, such as walnut or beech, paired with natural leather upholstery, woven fabric trims, and hand-strung spring or hair padding.

Authentic period pieces feature natural surface wear, craquelure, and patina on the leather, accompanied by hand-carved frame joinery and traditional upholstery fixing methods underneath.

A leather banquette works as a statement seat in an entrance hall, along a dining table, or in a study, where its warm leather texture offers balance alongside contemporary minimalist architecture.

Keep the leather conditioned using specialised conservation creams, position the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, and clean velvet trims gently using a soft brush.
