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.
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.
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.

French Gothic-influenced garden furniture typically features pointed or arched backrest silhouettes, lattice wirework, and geometric tracery inspired by medieval architecture. Constructed predominantly from iron, these pieces combine structural strength with an openwork, lightweight visual quality.

Traditional wirework benches are constructed using a combination of wrought iron for the structural frame and hand-woven steel or iron wire for the lattice seating and back panels. The metal was historically painted to protect against oxidisation.

Authentic pieces generally display riveted or forge-welded joins rather than modern continuous electric welds. They often exhibit multiple layers of historic paint, natural weathering, and slight hand-formed irregularities in the wire framework.

A metal wirework bench can be placed in a sunroom, conservatory, or spacious hallway as accent seating. Pairing the cold metal frame with natural linen cushions or sheepskin throws creates textural contrast while softening the overall aesthetic.

To preserve weathered metal furniture, apply a light coat of clear microcrystalline wax to stabilize existing patination and prevent further corrosion. Storing the item under cover during harsh winter months will protect the frame from moisture damage.
