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.
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.
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.

Georgian-style footstools are characterised by symmetrical proportions, dark hardwood frames such as mahogany, and ornate leg details including cabriole curves or claw and ball feet. Upholstered examples frequently feature deep buttoning and brass studding.

Traditional construction relies on solid mahogany or walnut frames paired with natural hide leather or heavy textile upholstery. Internal framing utilizes mortise and tenon joinery alongside hand-tacked brass studding around the base perimeter.

Original 18th-century pieces exhibit hand-sawn timber marks, irregular hand-carved legs, and natural shrinkage in wood joints. Later reproductions often feature uniform machine carving, modern internal spring padding, and standard modern fixings.

A large rectangular footstool can double as a central coffee table when styled with a decorative wooden or brass tray. Placing the piece in the centre of a seating arrangement or at the foot of a bed introduces rich colour texture and structural contrast.

Leather upholstery requires periodic treatment with a specialized leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking. Mahogany legs should be dusted with a soft cloth and polished annually with natural beeswax to preserve the timber finish.
