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

The Louis XVI style is characterised by neoclassical design principles, featuring straight lines, symmetry, classical fluting, and geometric corner carved rosettes, departing from the elaborate curves of the preceding Rococo era.

Frames were typically carved from solid hardwoods such as beech, oak, or walnut, finished with painted or gilded surfaces, and upholstered using natural linen or cotton fabrics over traditional webbing and stuffing.

Look for hand-carved decorative motifs like fluted posts, square rosette corner joints, mortise and tenon joinery, and layered hand-painted finishes exhibiting natural wear around structural edges.

Pair the bed with neutral or textured linen bedding to complement the upholstered panels, balancing the carved timber frame with modern minimalist side tables or classic French nightstands.

Lightly vacuum upholstery using a soft brush attachment to remove dust, and wipe the painted timber frame with a dry microfibre cloth, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources to preserve the finish.
