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 18th-century Britain, George III sofas influenced by Robert Adam feature neoclassical proportions, clean architectural lines, and refined carved motifs on exposed timber frames.

Frames were typically built using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut for exposed areas, with beech or pine used for internal structural framework joined by mortise and tenon joints.

Authentic pieces demonstrate hand-sawn timber marks, irregular hand-cut dovetails or dowels, period-appropriate oxidation on internal softwoods, and hand-carved decorative detailing.

Re-upholstering the frame in contemporary neutral linen or textured wool creates a striking contrast between historical timber craft and modern interior aesthetics.

The timber frame should be treated with natural beeswax to preserve patination, while ensuring traditional upholstery techniques like hand-lashed springs and horsehair padding are used without damaging original tack lines.
