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 crescent Chesterfield sofa features a gently curved, concave frame combined with deep-buttoned tufting across the backrest and rolled arms, designed during the Victorian era to facilitate conversation.

Traditional Victorian upholstered sofas featured solid hardwood frames, hand-tied steel coil springs on jute webbing, horsehair padding, and hand-tufted fabric supported by turned wooden legs on brass castors.

Authentic period pieces display hand-stitched base linings, stamped maker marks or serial numbers on the rear legs or frame members, stamped brass castors, and heavy hardwood frame construction.

Positioning a curved sofa centrally within a room accentuates its architectural form, allowing it to anchor open-plan spaces alongside modern minimalist side tables and neutral floor coverings.

Regular gentle vacuuming using a soft brush attachment removes surface dust, while keeping fabric away from direct sunlight prevents uneven fading and degradation of natural fibres.
