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.

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

George II furniture, produced between approximately 1727 and 1760, marks a transition from earlier Queen Anne forms toward early Rococo and Chippendale details. Typical characteristics include cabriole legs, carved splats, pad or claw-and-ball feet, and heavy use of figured walnut or mahogany.

Chairs during this period were primarily crafted from solid European or American walnut, mahogany, and local fruitwoods. Internal frames and joinery utilised hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, held together with wooden pegs rather than modern fixings.

Authentic pieces feature hand-sawn tool marks on unexposed areas, irregular hand-carved details, and evidence of historical wood shrinkage. Drop-in seat frames usually reveal multiple tack lines from historical reupholstering.

A Georgian side chair functions well as a standalone accent piece alongside a contemporary desk, within a hallway setting, or placed beside modern artwork to create visual contrast.

Maintain walnut furniture by placing it away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to avoid timber drying or splitting. Regular dusting with a soft cloth and occasional waxing with a natural beeswax polish helps preserve the original patina.
