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

Federal period furniture, produced in North America from roughly 1788 to 1830, features Neoclassical proportions, turned posts, and native hardwoods influenced by late 18th-century European design principles.

Craftsmen typically utilised native timber such as tiger maple, cherry, or walnut, joining the frame with hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, bolt attachments, or wooden pegs for rope support along the side rails.

Authentic pieces feature hand-planed timber surfaces, irregular saw marks on non-visible sections, original bolt cover holes, and hand-turned bedposts displaying natural wear and age-related patination.

Pair the warm timber tones with neutral linen bedding, modern bedside lamps, and subtle textured wool textiles to create a balanced interior scheme.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, position the piece away from direct heat sources or damp environments, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to protect the natural grain figure.
