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.

A Georgian mahogany settee is defined by its origin in 18th-century Britain, featuring solid mahogany timber framing, swept arms, and balanced proportions. These pieces were constructed to suit formal drawing rooms and reception areas of the period.

Primary construction materials included solid Cuban or West Indian mahogany for exposed framing, mortise and tenon joinery, brass castors, and natural fillers such as horsehair covered with damask, wool, or silk fabrics.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut joinery, timber with natural patination, dense grain typical of period mahogany, and hand-forged brass castors. Construction marks on the unexposed frame timber also indicate historical craftsmanship.

Positioning a Georgian settee against a neutral backdrop allows its mahogany outline to function as a clear structural element. Combining it with modern lighting or contemporary artwork creates a balanced contrast between historical furniture and modern decor.

Keep the frame away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage and fabric fading. Apply natural beeswax polish periodically to the exposed woodwork and use light vacuuming to maintain the upholstery.
