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

Louis XVI style sofas, or canapes, are characterised by neoclassical symmetry, straight lines, fluted tapered legs, and carved wooden frames often finished with painted or distressed surfaces.

Frames were typically carved from native hardwoods such as beech or oak, finished with chalk-based paints or gesso, and upholstered using natural woven linen, horsehair padding, and hand-strung webbing.

Authentic period pieces display traditional joinery techniques including pegged mortise and tenon joints, layered oxidation on painted surfaces, and historical framing marks on the underside.

Position the settee against neutral modern walls, pairing its carved frame with contemporary abstract art, unrefined linen drapery, and understated wool floor coverings.

Dust the frame regularly with a soft dry cloth, avoid chemical detergents that may degrade historic paint layers, and maintain consistent room humidity away from direct heating elements.
