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.

FAQs

Carriage stools, also known as long fender stools, were originally designed to fit within horse-drawn carriages or along a fireplace hearth to keep feet elevated above cold stone floors or drafts.

Victorian crewelwork items typically feature wool yarn embroidered onto linen or cotton canvas, mounted on solid hardwood frames such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-stitched embroidery, traditional horsehair or wool padding, hand-tacked gimp trim, and dark turned wood legs showing natural patina and age-appropriate wear.

A long fender stool functions well positioned directly in front of a fireplace hearth, placed at the foot of a bed, or used as an elongated coffee table alternative paired with a large tray.

Preserve antique crewelwork by dusting gently with a soft brush or low-suction vacuum using a mesh screen cover, keeping the textile out of direct sunlight, and consulting a textile conservator for spot cleaning.
