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.
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.
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.

Howard and Sons were premier London cabinetmakers active during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, renowned for high-quality upholstery and finely crafted mahogany cabinet furniture stamped with their Berners Street address.

Antique wardrobes from this period feature solid mahogany frames and rich mahogany veneers, constructed using hand-cut dovetail joints, moulded panel doors, and solid brass hardware.

Authentic pieces usually feature makers stamps pressed into the drawer edges or back panel timber, alongside stamped brass locks or castors displaying the Berners Street address or Howard & Sons name.

Positioning a tall mahogany wardrobe against a neutral wall creates a commanding focal point, balancing rich wood tones with contemporary natural textiles and subtle lighting.

Maintain the original finish by dusting regularly with a dry soft cloth, applying a high-grade beeswax polish annually, and avoiding placement near direct heat sources or damp environments.
