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

Charles II period cradles, dating from the late 17th century, typically feature heavy oak or fruitwood joinery, turned corner finials, arcade or spindle galleries, and lower rockers attached to the panelled body.

These pieces were hand-crafted using mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs, incorporating solid panelled sides, hand-turned spindles, and carved decorative mouldings or dates.

Authentic examples show irregular hand-sawn timber marks, hand-carved details, pegged joints rather than modern nails, and natural shrinkage or oxidisation around the timber over centuries.

While no longer used for infants, antique cradles are frequently re-purposed as unique log holders beside a hearth, striking indoor planters, or decorative storage for blankets in a rustic living space.

Maintain the original patina by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a natural beeswax polish sparingly, avoiding modern chemical sprays and placement near direct heat sources.
