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 Louis XV style, emerging in the mid-18th century, is characterised by asymmetrical curves, serpentine contours, cabriole legs, and naturalistic carved motifs such as shells and foliage, often executed in fine hardwoods like walnut and kingwood.

Traditional construction involved solid hardwoods such as walnut, oak, or fruitwood, paired with mouth-blown glass panes, brass or bronze escutcheon plates, and timber shelving supported by adjustable wooden racks.

Look for hand-carved crestings, hand-cut dovetail or mortise-and-tenon joinery, subtle imperfections or wave patterns in original glass panes, and secondary timber backing panels showing age-appropriate oxidisation.

Contrast the dark walnut tone and curved silhouette by placing the piece against a neutral wall, filling the shelves with minimalist ceramic vessels, modern art monographs, or curated glassware alongside traditional leather-bound books.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking or fading. Dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding ammonia-based glass cleaners on adjacent glazed panels.
