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 waterfall bookcase features tiered shelves that step back progressively in depth from bottom to top, creating a cascading profile designed for displaying books and objects.

George III painted furniture was typically constructed from native hardwoods or softwoods coated with a smooth ground layer, then hand-painted with oil pigments, lacquer, and classical decorative motifs.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, natural age craquelure on the paint finish, square tapered legs, and period brass drawer pulls.

Position the piece in a dining room alcove, hallway, or drawing room, pairing its painted detail with neutral walls and a curated selection of ceramics or books.

Dust gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical polishes or water, and position the furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
