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

Originating in the seventeenth century for Knole House in Kent, a Knoll sofa is characterised by high, adjustable side arms that drop down using cord ties attached to corner finials.

Authentic designs feature solid timber internal frames, deep-cushioned seating upholstered in full-grain leather or heavy fabric, and solid brass or wooden finials for retaining side cording.

Key identification features include hinged drop sides supported by ties attached to decorative wooden or metal corner posts, high straight backs, and brass studding or deep padding.

Position the piece as a central anchor in a living space, pairing rich hand-dyed leather with neutral wool throws, contemporary metal side tables, or architectural lighting to balance its classic silhouette.

Keep leather away from direct heat sources and prolonged sunlight to prevent drying, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a specialist leather conditioner annually to preserve flexibility.
