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

The Cotswold School was a branch of the British Arts and Crafts movement that emphasised traditional handcraftsmanship, simple structural forms, and the natural grain of solid timber over ornate decoration.

Makers predominantly utilised native British hardwoods such as oak, walnut, and chestnut, employing exposed dovetail joints, hand-planed surfaces, and turned wooden handles.

Authentic pieces generally feature solid timber construction rather than thin veneers, visible hand-cut joinery, unvarnished wax finishes, and sometimes maker marks or workshop stamps beneath drawers.

Position the piece against a clean, neutral backdrop to highlight the wood grain, pairing it with modern desk accessories and understated brass or ceramic lighting to create a balanced aesthetic.

Apply high-grade beeswax twice yearly along the wood grain and wipe with a soft dry cloth, keeping the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or warping.
