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.
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.
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.

Italian Baroque furniture from the 17th century is characterised by dramatic architectural proportions, bold carved moulding, dark finishes such as ebonising, and functional symmetry.

These pieces were crafted from solid hardwoods such as walnut, chestnut, or pine, which were treated with dark stains or iron-based dyes to simulate costly imported ebony.

Authentic items display hand-hewn timber joinery, uneven surfaces, historical wear around handles and kneeholes, and thick carved panel mouldings typical of the period.

Set the dark silhouette against neutral lime-wash or plaster walls, pairing it with contemporary task lighting and clean-lined seating to accentuate its historic texture.

Dust regularly using a soft dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly to preserve the historic patina without damaging the delicate finish.
