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.

This matched pair of George III style urn stands displays warm brown satinwood, mahogany and rosewood timbers with contrasting dark and light wood inlays. Each octagonal top features a central starburst marquetry design surrounded by intricate geometric borders, sitting above an apron decorated with inlaid swags and a small pull-out slide fitted with a tiny cast brass knob. Slender, square tapered legs with inlaid panels on the facings are joined by a shaped cruciform X-stretcher and finished with small brass collars near the upper joints. Standing at 76 cm high, 33.5 cm wide and 32 cm deep, these tall, narrow pieces fit neatly into a fireplace alcove or corner of a drawing room to hold small decorative items, plants or lamps.

FAQs

An urn stand is a small, high-legged table developed in late 18th-century Britain to support hot tea urns or decorative porcelain vases. During the George III period, cabinetmakers adorned these pieces with delicate inlaid marquetry and classical motifs.

Georgian craftsmen frequently utilised dense mahogany or satinwood for the primary structure, accented with decorative veneers such as harewood, rosewood, boxwood, and tulipwood to create contrasting marquetry patterns.

Authentic pieces feature hand-sawn veneers, hand-cut dovetail joinery, evidence of hand planing on unseen undersides, natural timber shrinkage over time, and original patination on the timber and metal fittings.

Position a pair of slender stands in a hallway alcove or flanking a doorway to display contemporary sculptures, botanical arrangements, or modern ceramics, bridging historical detail with modern minimalism.

Maintain stable indoor humidity to prevent veneer lifting or wood movement. Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and bright sunlight, cleaning gently with a dry microfiber cloth and applying microcrystalline wax sparingly.
