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 serpentine sofa features a sweeping, curved backrest and seat profile, a design popularised in 18th and 19th-century European furniture to encourage conversation and complement grand architectural layouts.

Traditional antique sofas feature solid hardwood frames, such as beech or walnut, combined with hand-tied coil springs, horsehair padding, and rich cotton or silk velvet upholstery.

Authentic Rococo Revival pieces feature elaborate hand-carved scrolling acanthus leaves, cabriole legs, C-scroll motifs, and asymmetrical framework typical of 19th-century craftsmanship.

A curved sofa creates a focal point when placed floating in the centre of a room, paired with a circular coffee table and minimalist side lighting to emphasise its sculptural silhouette.

Gently vacuum velvet upholstery using a soft brush attachment in the direction of the nap, and protect the carved wooden frame by applying natural beeswax polish annually while keeping the piece out of direct sunlight.
