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 ball and claw sofa features cabriole legs that terminate in a carved foot representing a birds claw holding a ball, a decorative detail inspired by Chinese mythology and popularised in 18th-century European furniture design.

Period sofas were constructed with solid hardwood frames, such as oak, beech, or mahogany, padded with natural materials like horsehair and jute webbing, and upholstered in woven fabrics including velvet, silk damask, or wool.

Authentic period frames typically exhibit hand-carved details on visible timber, original brass castors, hand-tied coil springs beneath the webbing, and signs of aged patination on the unexposed wooden sections.

A blue velvet sofa serves as a strong focal point when contrasted against neutral walls, paired with contemporary brass floor lamps, or layered with textured wool throws and modern artwork.

Velvet should be gently vacuumed using a soft brush attachment and brushed in the direction of the pile, while carved wooden legs require occasional polishing with natural beeswax to preserve the wood finish.
