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.

This early 20th-century Moorish Revival bench comes in the distinctive taste associated with Liberty & Co. The piece is constructed from a medium brown hardwood, showing rich wood grain and natural warm tones across the solid timber surfaces. Intricate geometric fretwork and traditional mashrabiya lattice panels decorate the base below the seat, while carved woodwork embellishes the frame and the dramatic outward-curved scroll ends. Turned spindles provide additional visual interest beneath the arms and flanking the lower sections, contributing to the maximalist aesthetic. The sturdy design measures 94 cm high, 166 cm wide, and 65 cm deep, providing a substantial footprint for practical daily use. Homeowners can position this striking window seat in a hallway, bedroom, or living space to serve as functional seating with distinctive architectural character.

FAQs

Moorish style furniture is characterised by intricate geometric carving, turned wooden lattice work known as mashrabiya, and architectural silhouettes inspired by North African and Islamic design traditions.

These pieces are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like walnut or teak, featuring hand-carved decorative aprons, mortise and tenon joinery, and delicate turned spindle fretwork.

Look for signs of manual craftsmanship such as subtle variations in the turned spindles, natural oxidation in lower recesses, authentic hand-chiselled mortise joints, and heavy solid wood construction.

Position the piece within an entryway, bay window, or at the foot of a bed, pairing its detailed timber textures with plain linen upholstery, brass lighting accents, or neutral stone flooring.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish twice a year along the grain, avoiding liquid cleaners that can accumulate within intricate carving.
