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

Country house sofas from this period are characterized by generous proportions, deep seating, and substantial hardwood frames, often drawing on earlier eighteenth-century designs such as Chippendale style cabriole legs and claw feet.

Frames were typically constructed from solid hardwoods like mahogany or oak, with internal fillings comprising horsehair, jute webbing, coil springs, and down or feather-filled cushions enclosed in plain cotton calico under-covers.

Authentic period frames feature traditional corner blocks, hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved wood details showing slight variations, and aged patina on unexposed timber areas.

A period sofa can be reupholstered in contemporary linen, velvet, or textured wool fabrics to create a focal point that blends historic craftsmanship with modern interior colour schemes.

Keep timber frames away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking, clean carved woodwork with soft brushes, apply beeswax periodically, and rotate loose feather cushions regularly to maintain structure.
