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

Regency period seating is defined by classical Greek and Roman influences, featuring graceful curves, scrolled arms, sabre legs, and decorative brass mountings.

These pieces were typically constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany or beech, coated in a dark ebonised finish to imitate ebony, and accented with cast brass mounts and castors.

Authentic Regency day beds feature period-correct joinery, classical proportions, hand-turned brass castors, and distinct carved or reeded detailing along the frame.

A classic day bed functions as a statement accent piece along a wide wall, within a bay window, or as room-dividing seating in an open-plan living space.

Ebonised finishes should be dusted with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and treated with neutral beeswax, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that strip the finish or tarnish the aged brass.
