Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

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

Produced during the reign of King George III from 1760 to 1820, these pieces feature classical proportions, fine mahogany veneers, tapered square legs, and functional compartments designed for correspondence and document storage.

They were predominantly crafted from solid and veneered Cuban or West Indian mahogany, featuring oak or pine as secondary drawer lining woods and cast brass metalwork for drop handles and key escutcheons.

Authentic Georgian pieces display hand-dovetailed drawer joints, irregular hand-sawn wood marks on back panels, original steel lock mechanisms, and natural age-related shrinkage across the timber panels.

Position the cabinet against a neutral or dark muted wall, pairing it with understated seating and minimal accessories to allow the dark wood grain and historic silhouette to serve as a focal point.

Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to nourish the wood finish.
