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 early Louis XV style, emerging in the 18th century, is characterised by organic forms, sweeping curves, cabriole legs, and subtle rococo ornamentation, marking a shift away from the rigid symmetry of earlier periods.

Cabinetmakers frequently utilised regional fruitwoods, walnut, or oak for the frame, incorporating crossbanded veneer on drawer fronts alongside cast bronze or brass handles, sabots, and decorative keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail construction, hand-planed back and underside panels, subtle asymmetry in cast fittings, and organic wear around hardware and feet.

A fruitwood commode functions well as a focal storage piece in an entryway, living area, or bedroom, balancing contemporary artwork, modern table lamps, and neutral paint palettes.

Apply a high-quality natural beeswax paste periodically to protect the timber patination, maintain stable indoor humidity to minimise wood movement, and dust metal fittings gently with a soft dry cloth.
