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

A French bergere sofa is an upholstered settee featuring an exposed carved wooden frame, deep seating, and enclosed armrests or side panels, often incorporating woven cane work.

Traditional construction utilizes solid hardwoods such as walnut, beech, or fruitwood for the frame, alongside split rattan cane for the woven panels and natural fiber upholstery.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved details along the frame, hand-woven cane work secured with traditional splint, and evidence of historical jointing methods like mortise and tenon.

These pieces function well as accent seating in living rooms or foyers, where the open texture of the woven cane contrasts with contemporary upholstery and minimalist decor.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent the cane from drying out, mist the cane occasionally with water to maintain flexibility, and dust the carved frame with a soft brush.
