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

French provincial furniture of the 18th century combines the formal proportions of Parisian styles, such as Louis XV and Louis XVI, with simplified details suited for regional country estates. Crafted primarily from local hardwoods like oak or fruitwood, these pieces feature functional panelling, moulded edges, and sturdy iron hardware.

Traditional French bookcases were constructed using solid native hardwoods, predominantly European oak or walnut. Joinery methods relied on hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, peg construction, and hand-planed backboards, with decorative ironwork used for hinges and escutcheons.

Authentic 18th-century pieces display signs of historical craftsmanship, such as hand-saw marks on unseen surfaces, hand-forged iron fittings, and asymmetry resulting from manual woodworking tools. Shrinkage gaps along timber joins and natural patination inside cupboards also indicate genuine period construction.

A large antique bookcase acts as a focal point in contemporary spaces when balanced with neutral wall tones and minimalist upholstery. Mixing curated ceramics, contemporary art objects, and vintage hardback books on the open shelves breaks up the visual weight of the dark wood and creates depth.

To preserve bleached or scrubbed oak furniture, clean regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals, and apply a clear matte beeswax sparingly once or twice a year to protect the timber without adding unwanted sheen or yellow tones.
