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 Portarlington model by Howard & Sons features a distinctive low, curved backrest with sloping scrolled arms and deep feather-filled seat cushions, engineered for exceptional comfort.

Authentic period sofas were constructed using hardwood frames, hand-tied steel coil springs, natural hair and fibre stuffing, down feather cushion fillings, and cast brass castors.

Original pieces typically feature stamped rear legs with the makers name or serial number, stamped brass castors, and original monogrammed cotton ticking fabric beneath later upholstery.

A period sofa can be incorporated into contemporary spaces by pairing it with clean-lined modern side tables, neutral walls, and architectural lighting to contrast traditional forms with modern simplicity.

Regularly plump feather cushions to maintain shape, vacuum fabric using a soft brush attachment, keep wood components conditioned, and protect the piece from direct sunlight to prevent fibre degradation.
