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

Irish Georgian furniture from around 1750 often features bold proportions, intricate relief carving, dense timber choices such as mahogany or red walnut, and expressive carved details including shell motifs, acanthus leaves, and claw-and-ball feet.

Chairs from this period were crafted using solid walnut or red walnut with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery. Back splats were intricately hand-carved and pierced, while front legs were shaped into cabriole forms with hand-carved knees and feet.

Authentic George II period chairs display hand-sawn timber marks, natural oxidisation on the underside, period-correct corner blocks, hand-carved details with subtle irregularities, and original drop-in seat frames.

A single Georgian side chair functions as a focal accent piece placed alongside a modern desk, positioned in an entryway, or paired with contemporary minimalist artwork to create a balanced contrast between historic and modern design elements.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, buffing gently along the wood grain while avoiding harsh chemical cleansers or direct sunlight.
