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.

Historically designed to raise feet off cold drafty floors, low footstools evolved into essential accent furniture during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, providing ergonomic support and extra informal seating alongside armchairs.

Frames were typically crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, featuring hand-carved legs and feet, while seats were stuffed with natural hair or wool and upholstered in woven fabrics or tapestry.

Authentic examples display hand-carved joint details, corner blocking on the interior frame, natural wear on the underside of the carved feet, and historical tack marks beneath replacement upholstery.

Position the footstool directly in front of a reading armchair or near a fireplace hearth to introduce historic texture, timber tones, and patterned upholstery into a contemporary living room arrangement.

Clean the carved timber legs with a dry microfibre cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly, while gently vacuuming the upholstery using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust accumulation.
