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

Gustavian furniture originated in Sweden during the reign of King Gustav III in the late 18th century, drawing inspiration from French Neoclassicism. The style adapted French forms into muted, painted finishes designed to maximise natural light during Scandinavian winters.

These pieces traditionally feature softwoods or hardwoods such as pine or beech for the carved frame, finished with chalky pale paint. Seats and backrests are typically upholstered in natural woven textiles, linen, or patterned fabrics.

Authentic pieces display Neoclassical motifs such as fluted turned legs, carved rosettes, and guilloche borders. Inspection of the frame usually reveals hand-pegged joinery and evidence of layered or naturally aged paint finishes.

These armchairs serve effectively as accent seating placed beside a fireplace, positioned in a reading corner, or placed at the ends of a modern dining table to introduce historic texture and Neoclassical structure.

Clean painted wooden frames by dusting lightly with a dry, soft cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may strip historic finishes. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources to prevent paint flaking and wood shrinkage.
