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 fauteuil is an open-armchair style originating in 17th and 18th-century France, featuring carved, exposed wooden frames, often finished with water gilding or oil gilding over gesso.

Frames were typically carved from hardwoods such as beech or walnut, coated with layerings of gesso, hand-gilded with gold leaf, and fitted with spring or webbed upholstery covered in silk, velvet, or damask.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved joinery details, subtle surface wear showing the red bole or white gesso ground beneath the gilding, and traditional construction techniques like mortise and tenon joints.

Place a pair symmetrically opposite a contemporary sofa or on either side of a fireplace to introduce textural contrast, classical symmetry, and historical depth to a modern scheme.

Dust giltwood frames delicately using a soft feather duster, avoiding water or chemical cleaners that degrade gold leaf, and clean upholstery with gentle vacuuming using a soft brush attachment.
