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 18th-century France, the bergere is an enclosed armchair featuring an exposed carved wooden frame, filled or caned sides, and a loose seat cushion. The Louis XV style is characterised by flowing curves, floral carved motifs, fluid lines, and distinctive cabriole legs.

Frames were typically carved from durable hardwoods such as walnut, beech, or fruitwood, paired with hand-woven natural cane for the backrests and sides. Loose seat cushions were traditionally upholstered in velvet, silk, or damask and filled with horsehair or feather down.

Authentic pieces from the late 19th to early 20th century feature crisp hand-carved decoration, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and natural patination across the timber. Woven cane backrests display subtle variations in tension and tone consistent with natural age and hand craftsmanship.

Positioning a pair opposite a clean-lined modern sofa creates a balanced dialogue between contemporary minimalism and classical curves. Upholstering or accenting with neutral linens or jewel-toned velvets integrates historic seating into contemporary colour palettes.

Dust the timber frame and woven cane regularly using a soft brush attachment or microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical sprays. Maintain consistent indoor humidity to prevent natural cane fibers from becoming brittle or sagging over time.
