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

Italian giltwood furniture from the 18th century typically features hand-carved architectural and botanical motifs, fluid scrollwork, and a gold leaf finish over timber, reflecting Baroque and Rococo influences.

Craftsmen carved the frame from softwoods such as pine or poplar, applied gesso ground layers, and laid thin gold leaf over clay bole using traditional water gilding techniques.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut joinery, hand-carved timber frame irregularities, and natural rubbing to the gilding that reveals the red or grey clay bole beneath.

Positioning gilded seating alongside modern architectural backgrounds or minimalist furnishings creates a high-contrast focal point that balances historic detail with contemporary space.

Giltwood requires dusting with a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, chemical polishes, or high humidity levels that cause the gesso base to crack or lift.
