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.

This 19th-century French Louis XV style sofa, or canapé, combines a carved giltwood frame with a curved corbeille backrest and fluted legs. The wooden structure has a golden finish and supports an upholstered seat and back covered in cream cotton fabric featuring a pink Toile de Jouy pattern. Decorative carved motifs adorn the crest rail and frame borders, while the arms sweep forward in a graceful curved line. Measuring 90 cm high, 124 cm wide, and 60 cm deep, the piece fits comfortably in a drawing room, bedroom, or hallway. It functions well as a seat for one or two people and brings a traditional French chateau aesthetic to domestic interiors.

FAQs

Giltwood frames should be dusted gently using a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth without liquid cleaners, while the textile upholstery should be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent fibre degradation and colour fading.

A French giltwood settee can be placed in an entrance hall, positioned at the foot of a bed, or used as a focal accent piece in a contemporary living room to contrast structured architectural lines.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-carved decorative motifs, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, genuine gilding showing natural bole undercoating, and hand-stitched horsehair upholstery construction.

These pieces were crafted with hardwood frames, typically beech or walnut, coated in gesso and finished with applied gold leaf gilding, paired with woven textiles such as damask, tapestry, or printed cotton Toile de Jouy.

A French canape is an upholstered sofa or settee featuring an exposed, carved wooden frame and padded armrests, widely produced during the 19th century in revival styles such as Louis XV and Louis XVI.
