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

Welsh vernacular painted furniture refers to practical, locally made timber pieces crafted by regional carpenters and artisans during the 18th and 19th centuries. Typically constructed from native softwoods like pine, these items were painted using historic pigments to protect the timber and add colour to modest rural homes.

Artisan chests of this period were predominantly constructed from pine or deal boards, joined with simple hand-cut dovetails or nails. They were finished with oil- or milk-based paint layers and fitted with wrought iron hinges and simple lock mechanisms.

Authentic period paint finishes display natural wear patterns concentrated around edges, corners, and handles, revealing underlying raw timber or primer coats. True historical paint exhibits fine craquelure, subtle colour variation, and oxidisation rather than uniform modern distressing.

A small painted coffer functions as a functional statement piece when placed in a hallway for shoe storage, utilised as an occasional side table, or positioned at the end of a bed. Its textured, patinated surface provides visual warmth and contrast against contemporary plaster or minimalist decor.

Maintain painted pine furniture by keeping it in a stable environment away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage and paint flaking. Clean gently using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, water, or abrasive polishes that strip original finishes.
