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

Penwork furniture refers to items produced primarily during the late Georgian and Regency periods, characterised by light wood painted black or japanned, with detailed designs drawn in India ink and sealed with protective varnish.

These tables were typically constructed from woods such as birch, beech, or pine, covered in black lacquer or paint, with designs executed using fine nibs and India ink before being lacquered.

Authentic Regency penwork shows age-appropriate craquelure in the varnish, subtle wear to high-touch edges, and hand-drawn line variations under magnification rather than printed motifs.

Position the table as a functional accent piece alongside contemporary seating, within a reading alcove, or as a decorative side table in a living area.

Keep the table away from direct sunlight and heat sources, clean using a dry microfibre cloth, and avoid liquid polishes or solvents that could dissolve the historical varnish layer.
