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.

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 corbeille bed, translating to basket bed, features a characteristically curved footboard that wraps around the corners of the mattress. Popularised during the 18th century and refined throughout the Louis XVI period, these beds often showcase caned panels, fluted legs, and intricate hand-carved detailing.

Authentic French caned beds typically feature a solid timber framework, such as beech or oak, finished with gilding or hand-painted gesso. The inset panels are woven using natural rattan or cane strands, providing lightweight support and decorative texture.

Authentic period pieces show signs of hand-carving along the wooden frame, natural wear or oxidisation to the gilded surface, and individual hand-woven cane strands rather than modern machine-made sheet cane. Construction methods such as mortise and tenon joinery also indicate historic craftsmanship.

Pair the ornate frame with neutral, textured bed linen, such as washed linen or crisp white cotton, to balance the visual weight of the giltwood. Complement the piece with simple bedside tables or subtle contemporary lighting to keep the focus on the hand-caned detailing.

Keep the item away from direct heat sources and excessive sunlight to prevent the natural cane from drying out or splitting, and dust gently using a soft brush. Avoid liquid cleaners on giltwood, as moisture or harsh chemicals can damage the gold leaf and underlying gesso layer.
