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

Whytock & Reid was a prominent Edinburgh-based cabinetmaking firm active from the 19th through the 20th century, renowned for high-grade timber, meticulous craftsmanship, and refined adaptations of Georgian and Arts & Crafts designs.

Pieces from this era typically feature solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany or walnut for visible timber, internal coil springs, natural hair padding, and woven fabric upholstery.

Authentic items are recognised by their distinctive leg shapes, including signature carved cabriole legs with scrolled feet, exceptionally sturdy frame joinery, and occasionally brass inventory tags or maker stamps.

Positioning a pair of traditional upholstered armchairs opposite a contemporary minimalist sofa creates an inviting conversational arrangement while bridging classic design with modern decor.

Vacuum upholstery regularly using a low-suction soft brush attachment, keep textiles out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and apply a neutral beeswax to exposed timber legs to maintain the finish.
