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

The George I period from 1714 to 1727 marked a transition towards walnut construction, featuring curvilinear forms, vasiform back splats, scrolled arms, and drop-in upholstered seats.

Craftsmen primarily utilised solid walnut or walnut veneers applied over oak carcass framing, combined with hand-stitched needlepoint or wool tapestry textiles for the upholstery.

Authentic pieces display hand-sawn timber marks, pegged mortise and tenon joinery, natural shrinkage in frame joins, and distinctive walnut grain figuring across solid panels.

Positioning a period walnut armchair alongside minimalist contemporary furniture or in a library alcove creates visual contrast between historical timber patination and modern clean lines.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth, apply beeswax sparingly along the wood grain, and position the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to protect the finish.
