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 crescent Chesterfield sofa is a nineteenth-century upholstered seating design featuring a sweeping curved frame, deep buttoning across the backrest, and rolled arms aligned at equal height with the back.

Victorian sofas typically utilised solid hardwood frames made from beech or oak, coiled steel springs, hand-tied webbing, natural animal hair filling, and brass castors fitted to turned wooden legs.

Authentic pieces frequently feature makers stamps on the inner rear legs or brass castors, alongside branded monogram ticking fabric on the underside of the frame.

A crescent sofa functions effectively as a central seating area in open-plan spaces, providing geometric contrast against contemporary straight-lined architecture and neutral plaster walls.

Upholstery should be vacuumed regularly on a low suction setting using a soft brush attachment, positioned away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, and professional cleaning carried out when necessary.
