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.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century French seating often draws inspiration from earlier royal periods such as Louis XV and Louis XVI, characterised by curved cabriole legs, carved wooden frames, and symmetrical or floral upholstery patterns.

These frames are typically crafted from dense hardwoods such as walnut or beech, featuring hand-carved detailing and traditionally stuffed upholstery using materials like horsehair, cotton, and springs.

Authenticity is evaluated through traditional joinery methods, hand-cut screws or pegs, the natural patina of the aged timber, and the presence of period-appropriate upholstery techniques.

Pairing historical seating with clean-lined modern architecture or minimalist coffee tables creates a balanced focal point that highlights the craftsmanship of the antique piece.

Protect the timber from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to prevent warping, and clean the upholstered surfaces using specialist textile conservation methods or professional vacuuming.
