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 bedstead typically features classical architectural proportions, geometric symmetry, straight fluted legs, and carved decorative motifs such as pinecone finials. These pieces often showcase upholstered panels framed by painted or gilded timber moulding.

Traditional French bedsteads from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were constructed from hardwoods such as beech, walnut, or oak, finished with distressed paint or lacquer. Upholstered panels utilised natural textiles like silk damask, linen, or cotton brocade secured with gimp trimming or studs.

Authentic antique French beds often display hand-carved detailing, mortise and tenon joinery, and non-standard sizing designed for traditional European mattresses. Inspecting the underside of the frame for original construction marks and aged wood patination helps verify historical authenticity.

Integrate a French upholstered bedstead into a modern space by pairing it with neutral bed linens to balance vibrant upholstery patterns. Neutral walls and minimalist bedside furniture allow the detailed timber carving and patterned fabric to serve as the main focal point.

Clean painted timber frames using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to avoid stripping aged finishes or lacquer. Upholstery fabric should be regularly vacuumed using a soft brush attachment and spot-cleaned cautiously with specialised fabric cleaners suited for delicate textiles.
