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

Louis XVI style beds are characterised by classical symmetry, rectilinear forms, fluted legs, and neoclassically inspired decorative carvings such as rosettes, ribbons, and foliage.

These beds were typically constructed using solid hardwoods like beech, oak, or walnut, incorporating woven natural cane panels in the headboard and footboard, often finished with distressed paint.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved joinery, original woven cane showing subtle irregularities, natural wood aging, and historical paint layers or authentic patina.

Pair the bed frame with crisp white linen bedding and neutral backdrop tones to highlight the textured cane and carved detailing while maintaining an airy feel.

Keep the frame away from direct heat sources to prevent the cane from drying out, dust lightly with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoid moisture on painted surfaces.
