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.
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.

Emerging in the mid-19th century, Gothic Reform furniture rejected excessive Victorian ornament in favour of structural honesty, geometric forms, and prominent joinery inspired by medieval design principles.

These pieces typically utilise solid native woods such as oak, featuring pegged mortise-and-tenon joints, geometric panelling, turned supporting columns, and occasionally contrasting ebonised details.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-finished joinery, natural patination on unvarnished timber surfaces, heavy architectural proportions, and period-appropriate features like hand-carved friezes or turned columns.

An octagonal library table works well as a focal point in a central hallway or large foyer, balanced by contemporary lighting or ceramic vessels to highlight its architectural silhouette.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, keeping the item away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity fluctuations.
