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

Ormolu mounts, representing gilded bronze work, became prominent in French neoclassical and Victorian furniture design to add decorative luxury and status to high-end furnishings.

These pieces typically feature a hardwood frame such as mahogany or walnut, traditional hand-tied coil springs, horsehair or high-density padding, and cast ormolu or brass mounts.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-cut joinery of the internal wooden frame, the composition and weight of the gilt bronze ormolu, and the traditional hand-stitched upholstery methods.

A large patterned footstool works effectively as a central coffee table alternative topped with a rigid tray, or as a grounding textural element in front of a neutral sofa.

Vacuum the fabric regularly using a low-suction attachment, and clean metal mounts gently with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that can strip the gilding.
