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

Originating in the late nineteenth century, the Arts and Crafts movement championed hand-craftsmanship, structural honesty, and the natural beauty of timber over mass industrial production.

Solid oak is the predominant timber utilised, often constructed with exposed joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved details, and rich natural wax finishes.

Look for maker marks, stamps, or metal plaques from prominent workshops like Arthur Simpson of Kendal, alongside visible traditional joinery, quarter-sawn oak grain, and clean geometric proportions.

Integrate contemporary ceramics, sculptural objects, and curated book collections alongside the warm wood tones to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Keep the timber clean using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to preserve the patina and protect against moisture loss.
