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.

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

Louis XVI style bedsteads feature neoclassical proportions, linear silhouettes, geometric parquetry, and botanical or ribbon marquetry inlays. They are typically highlighted by turned legs and gilt bronze or brass mounts.

Primary framework was commonly constructed from mahogany or walnut, while contrasting fruitwoods such as kingwood, tulipwood, satinwood, and boxwood were selected to create detailed marquetry and parquetry patterns.

Look for hand-cut wood veneers with natural variation in grain, hand-chased metal mounts with original patina, and period frame joinery including hand-dovetailed corner joints or cast iron side-rail hooks.

Balance the visual weight of polished mahogany and intricate wood inlay by pairing the frame with crisp, neutral linen bedding and muted wall paint tones such as soft grey, off-white, or sage green.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent veneer lift. Dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year.
