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

Emerging during the Napoleon III era and the peak of Chinoiserie popularity, these stools feature carved wood or gilded metal frames styled to imitate natural bamboo, topped with plush buttoned or tufted upholstery.

Frames were typically constructed from carved hardwoods such as beech or lime, finished with gold leaf gilding or lacquer, and upholstered using silk, satin, or velvet over natural hair padding.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved bamboo node detailing, natural oxidisation on the gilded surface, traditional underside webbing, and hand-stitched deep buttoning rather than modern stapled upholstery.

Position it as an accent piece beside a modern sofa, place it at the foot of a bed, or use it beneath a dressing console to provide a vibrant pop of colour against neutral walls.

Keep the stool away from direct sunlight to prevent silk degradation and fading, dust the gilded frame using a dry soft-bristled brush, and avoid applying liquid polish or water-based cleaners.
