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 Arts & Crafts movement emerged in the late 19th century as a reaction against industrial mass production, focusing on traditional hand-craftsmanship, simple forms, and the inherent beauty of natural timber.

Cabinetmakers primarily used solid hardwoods such as native oak, walnut, and mahogany, often leaving wood grain visible and finishing with wax or light oils rather than heavy veneers.

Authentic pieces display visible joinery, unadorned linear silhouettes, functional design proportions, and natural wood grain finishes rather than applied ornate mouldings.

Position the piece against a neutral or rich textured wall, layering books both horizontally and vertically alongside sculptural ceramics or foliage to complement the clean timber framing.

Dust regularly with a dry lint-free cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish occasionally along the natural wood grain, avoiding direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber desiccation.
