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

Louis XV furniture, originating in 18th-century France, is characterised by asymmetrical curves, serpentine profiles, cabriole legs, and ornate gilt-bronze ormolu mounts.

These pieces typically feature fine hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, adorned with cast brass or bronze ormolu mounts and polished timber veneers.

Authentic ormolu mounts display finely hand-chased details, mercury-gilding remnants or natural patina, and are custom-fitted directly to the timber carcass.

Position a low bookcase against a neutral feature wall, using the top surface to display ceramics or framed artwork while arranging books on the internal shelves.

Clean the wood regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the grain, ensuring wax is kept away from gilt-bronze mounts which require soft brushing.
