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

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 XV style furniture emerged in 18th-century France, characterised by asymmetrical curves, natural motifs, and elaborate gilt-bronze mounts known as ormolu.

These pieces typically feature exotic hardwood veneers like tulipwood and kingwood over a robust pine or oak carcass, complemented by cast, chased, and gilded bronze elements.

Authenticity is determined by examining the hand-chased quality of the ormolu mounts, the traditional joinery, the natural ageing of the wood veneer, and the presence of hand-cut screws or signature stamps.

Pairing this piece with minimalist or modern furnishings creates a striking contrast that highlights the intricate craftsmanship and adds a layer of historical texture to the room.

Maintain the wood with high-quality microcrystalline wax, avoiding silicone polishes, and dust the ormolu gently with a soft, dry brush to prevent damage to the delicate fire-gilt surface.
