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

A conversation sofa, also known as a tete-a-tete or confidante, is an S-shaped seat designed in the nineteenth century to allow two occupants to converse face-to-face.

These seats were built with solid hardwood frames, coil springs, padded horsehair filling, and rich fabric upholstery such as velvet or damask, resting on turned timber legs with metal castors.

Authentic Victorian examples feature heavy timber framing, hand-tufted or deep-buttoned upholstery, turned wood legs, and period-correct brass or iron castors.

Position the seat in an open-plan room, bay window, or wide entrance hall to serve as a central architectural focal point that allows dual-facing seating.

Vacuum lightly using a brush attachment, avoid positioning near direct sunlight to mitigate fabric fading, and address spills immediately by blotting gently with a clean dry cloth.
