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

FAQs

The Edwardian period, spanning from 1901 to 1910, often looked back to 18th-century Sheraton and Hepplewhite designs, favouring lighter proportions, delicate marquetry, and rich mahogany timbers.

These pieces typically feature solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods, accentuated by boxwood and satinwood stringing, hand-cut dovetails, and glazed doors with wooden astragals.

Authenticity is indicated by period-appropriate hand-cut joinery, aged timber patination, historical glass with minor imperfections, and maker marks or stamps on the drawers and backboards.

A large antique wooden piece adds architectural weight and character to a contemporary space, pairing well with neutral wall colours, minimalist furnishings, and curated collections of books or ceramics.

Maintain timber condition by avoiding direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, applying quality beeswax periodically, and dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth.
