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

Inlaid mahogany furniture features dark hardwood construction detailed with contrasting wood marquetry, such as satinwood floral swags or geometric motifs. Popularised during the Neoclassical, Georgian, and Edwardian eras, these pieces combine functional cabinetry with delicate surface decoration.

The primary structure consists of solid or veneered mahogany, complimented by lighter timber inlays like satinwood or boxwood. Handles and escutcheons are typically cast brass, featuring ornate backplates or drop bail handles.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer linings, secondary woods like pine or oak for drawer interiors, and natural signs of wood shrinkage or oxidisation. Original brassware usually displays minor casting variations and natural surface patina.

Position them symmetrically as bedside tables flanking a headboard, or place them individually as side tables alongside armchairs to introduce historical texture into modern room schemes.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year following the grain. Keep furniture away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent veneer movement or lifting.
