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

Edwardian items typically reflect the arts and crafts movement or simpler classical revivals, focusing on quality craftsmanship and compact functionality for travel.

These sets were frequently constructed from various hardwoods such as mahogany or boxwood, often featuring hand-carved wooden or bone pieces designed to fit securely into pegged boards.

Authenticity is determined by examining material patina, tool marks indicative of period manufacturing techniques, and the specific wear patterns consistent with age.

Such pieces function well as curated display objects on a bookshelf, coffee table, or within a dedicated study or library cabinet.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels, applying occasional archival wax if necessary, and handling pieces carefully to prevent loss or breakage.
