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

The Louis XIV style, originating in 17th-century France and widely revived during the 19th century, is characterised by architectural symmetry, substantial proportions, heavy gilding, and decorative motifs such as acanthus foliage and carved shells.

These pieces feature hand-carved timber frames, often lime, beech, or pine, coated in gesso and finished with oil or water gilding using gold leaf, paired with traditional upholstery components.

Authentic 19th-century giltwood exhibits natural surface patination where the underlying clay bole shows through worn gold leaf, alongside evidence of traditional timber joinery and hand-carved frame details.

A carved giltwood bench can be placed at the foot of a bed, within a grand entrance foyer, or beneath a low window, providing a historical focal point that contrasts with contemporary upholstery and clean architectural lines.

Gently dust the gilded frame using a dry, soft ostrich feather duster, strictly avoiding liquid cleaners, damp cloths, or chemical polishes that can dissolve the water-soluble gesso ground.
