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.

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

The George III style, spanning from 1760 to 1820, is characterised by classical proportions, refined craftsmanship, and a transition from heavy mahogany to lighter, more neoclassical designs influenced by cabinet makers such as Thomas Chippendale and Sheraton.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid mahogany and mahogany veneers, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction, brass hardware, and individually glazed glass panes set within wooden astragals.

Authenticity is assessed through secondary woods like pine or oak used in drawer linings, hand-carved details, old glass containing bubbles or imperfections, and signs of age-appropriate oxidisation and wear on the timber.

Pairing a dark wood antique cabinet with modern neutral walls, minimalist lighting, and curated stacks of books creates a balanced focal point that bridges traditional and contemporary design aesthetics.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the finish.
