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

A Louis XVI style salon suite is a suite of formal parlour furniture featuring classical proportions, carved decorative detailing, and water gilding. Typically composed of a matching canape, multiple armchairs or fauteuils, and occasional seats, these sets were designed for formal reception rooms.

Pieces from this era were constructed from carved hardwoods such as beech or walnut, coated with layers of gesso, and finished using leaf gold applied via water gilding or oil gilding techniques. Upholstery traditionally incorporated silk brocades, damasks, or tapestries over horsehair padding.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved frame jointing, natural wear or oxidisation on the gilding where red bole undercoats show through, and traditional upholstery construction including hand-tied springs and webbing underneath.

A complete salon suite provides formal structure in expansive living spaces or grand reception rooms. Individual components can also be distributed throughout a home to add architectural interest and historic texture against neutral contemporary backdrops.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted gently using a soft, dry squirrel-hair brush to prevent lifting the delicate gold leaf. Water and commercial cleaning chemicals must be strictly avoided, as moisture dissolves the underlying water-soluble gesso ground.
