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

Italian Renaissance Revival furniture, prominent in the late 19th century, is defined by dramatic architectural forms, intricate relief carvings, classical motifs, and mythological or allegorical figural representations.

Cabinetmakers frequently utilised dense hardwoods such as walnut or chestnut, employing hand-dovetailed drawer joints, mortise-and-tenon framing, and deeply hand-carved solid timber panels.

Authentic pieces display evidence of hand-carving tools on panel reverse sides, historical wood shrinkage around joints, original iron or bronze fitting attachments, and natural patination across carved recesses.

A heavily carved buffet serves as a dramatic statement piece in a dining room, hallway, or grand reception space when paired with neutral wall tones and minimal contemporary lighting to balance its visual complexity.

Dust should be removed regularly using a soft bristle brush to reach intricate recesses, followed by occasional applications of high-grade beeswax polish rubbed lightly into the timber to preserve its moisture and patina.
