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

Anglo-Indian furniture developed during British rule in India, marrying traditional European forms and silhouettes with dense local hardwoods and intricate Indian hand-carving techniques. Common elements include openwork piercing, zoomorphic figures, foliage, and relief carving.

Crafters typically utilised dense indigenous Indian hardwoods such as teak, rosewood (sheesham), padauk, and ebony. These woods allowed for deep, highly detailed carving while offering exceptional durability.

Authentic pieces exhibit dense, heavy timber, hand-carved joinery, and profuse relief ornamentation featuring native flora or mythological figures. Western functional frames are combined with distinct Eastern decorative motifs.

Position a pair in a spacious entrance hall, gallery, or library as bold architectural statements. Their dark timber and rich texture contrast elegantly with modern minimalist walls and contemporary artwork.

Dust detailed carvings regularly with a soft brush or microfibre cloth to prevent build-up in deep crevices. Nourish the wood periodically with high-quality beeswax paste, and keep away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement.
