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 curule footstool features a distinctive curved X-shaped frame derived from ancient Roman seat designs. Popularised during the Neoclassical, Regency, and Empire periods, this form incorporates crossed legs joined at a central axis.

These stools were typically crafted from hardwoods such as beech, mahogany, or walnut, which were then carved, painted, or parcel-gilded. Traditional upholstery incorporated natural hessian, horsehair stuffing, and hand-tacked webbing.

Look for period joinery techniques, hand-carved acanthus or scroll details, and maker stamps or paper labels often affixed underneath the frame. Natural signs of age, such as historic gilding wear, oxidation, and timber shrinkage, also signal authenticity.

Place the stool beneath a console table, beside a feature armchair, or at the foot of a bed to add architectural structure and classical character. Pairing distressed gilt or painted finishes with modern neutral textiles balances historical interest with modern interiors.

Dust the frame lightly with a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth to prevent abrasive wear to delicate leafing. Avoid wet cleaning solutions, chemical polishes, and direct exposure to heat sources or humid environments that cause paint flaking.
