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

Early nineteenth-century Swedish furniture often blends Gustavian Neoclassicism with Rococo influences. Pieces frequently feature solid oak or pine construction, floral marquetry inlay, carved aprons, and ornate cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Cabinetmakers typically used local hardwoods such as oak or pine, often accented with light wood marquetry inlays. Drawer boxes were assembled using hand-cut dovetail joints, while backboards were hand-planed and secured with forged iron or early steel fasteners.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of period craftsmanship, including hand-cut dovetails, asymmetrical tool marks on drawer linings, authentic cast brass hardware with age-related patination, and natural timber shrinkage along joints or panel seams.

A Swedish commode serves as a functional focal point in a hallway, bedroom, or living area. Pairing warm oak tones and intricate wood inlay with neutral walls, minimalist ceramics, or contemporary lighting creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Maintain the timber surface by dusting regularly with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality natural beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage, warping, or fading of the wood inlay.
