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

Louis XV style furniture, originating in 18th-century France, is defined by asymmetrical Rococo ornamentation, fluid serpentine silhouettes, cabriole legs, and elaborate foliate or rocaille carved decoration.

Traditional French suites were constructed using fine solid hardwoods such as walnut, oak, and fruitwood, incorporating hand-carved embellishments, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and bevelled glass mirrors.

Authentic pieces exhibit sweeping curved frames without rigid straight lines, hand-chiselled decorative carving, historical jointing techniques, and natural timber wear on unpolished surfaces.

Balance the intricate, architectural timber forms by placing the suite against plain, neutral-toned walls and layering the bed with minimalist, textured linen bedding.

Dust surfaces regularly using a soft, dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish sparingly along the grain once or twice a year to preserve the timber and finish.
