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.
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.
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.

Hepplewhite furniture, originating in late 18th-century Britain, is defined by balanced proportions, light construction, elegant curves, and decorative back splats such as shield, oval, or pierced vertical shapes.

Georgian armchairs were primarily crafted from dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany, featuring hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, horsehair padded seats, and natural wool or silk upholstery fabrics.

Authentic period chairs show signs of hand-sawing on hidden framework, uneven hand-turned stretchers, original corner blocks, oxidised dark wood tone on unpolished undersides, and traditional pegged joinery.

A single mahogany armchair works as a desk chair in a study, an accent piece in a hall or bedroom corner, or mixed with contemporary dining furniture to create balanced texture and visual contrast.

Maintain mahogany timber by applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year, dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, keeping away from direct heat sources, and protecting fabric upholstery from direct sunlight.
