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

During the 1920s, Gordon Russell transitioned from hand-crafted Arts and Crafts traditions toward streamlined early modernism. Furniture from this period features high-quality timber, simple geometric lines, and meticulously fitted jointing.

These beds were typically constructed from solid walnut or high-grade walnut veneers, utilising mortise and tenon joinery alongside framed panelwork to accommodate natural wood movement.

Authentic pieces often bear a paper workshop label, a metal makers badge, or stamped production marks near the frame joints. Construction details like hand-cut joinery and distinctive fielded panelling also indicate genuine manufacture.

Pair the natural timber tones with neutral linen bedding and soft wall colours to highlight the grain structure. Incorporate modern lighting and subtle textured floor coverings to balance historical craftsmanship with contemporary design.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking or colour fading. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically.
