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

A George III Hepplewhite settee is defined by its elegant neoclassical design, lightness of scale, and graceful curves, popularised in late 18th-century Britain. Common attributes include serpentine top rails, carved cabriole or tapered legs, and detailed mahogany framework.

Authentic period settees typically feature solid mahogany or walnut frames, joined with traditional mortise and tenon joinery. The internal upholstery historically used natural materials such as horsehair, jute webbing, and brass springs, finished with silk, damask, or wool upholstery.

Authentic period pieces display evidence of hand-carved details, hand-cut joinery, and natural wood oxidation on untreated frame undersides. Original brass castors, hand-forged iron screws, and hand-stitched horsehair padding are key indicators of genuine 18th-century craftsmanship.

A period mahogany settee serves as a striking focal point when set against neutral minimalist backdrops or paired with contemporary artwork. Positioning the piece in an entryway, formal drawing room, or beneath a gallery wall creates a balanced juxtaposed aesthetic.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping and fabric fading. Dust the wood frame using a soft microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly to preserve the patina, and clean upholstery exclusively with specialised dry-cleaning methods.
