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

French salon chairs, or fauteuils, from the 19th century typically feature exposed carved wooden frames, often embellished with gold leaf, upholstered arm pads, and broad backrests designed for formal reception spaces.

Craftsmen constructed frames using carved hardwoods, applying water gilding or oil gilding over a prepared gesso layer, often pairing the gold leaf with silk damask, brocade, or tapestry textiles.

Authentic period pieces exhibit traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon construction, subtle hand-carving variations, and natural wear to the gilded surface revealing the underlying red or yellow bole clay.

Positioning a pair of carved giltwood armchairs alongside streamlined modern upholstery creates a balanced focal point, juxtaposing historical craftsmanship against modern architectural lines.

Gilt surfaces should be dusted lightly with a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water and liquid polishes, while upholstery requires delicate vacuuming with a soft brush attachment away from direct sunlight.
