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

The Louis XV style is characterised by asymmetric curves, cabriole legs, delicate floral marquetry, and a focus on lightness and grace compared to earlier heavy baroque designs.

Craftsmen typically used exotic hardwoods such as kingwood, tulipwood, and rosewood over a carcase of oak or pine, accented with cast bronze or ormolu mounts.

Authentication involves examining the hand-cut wood veneers for natural variations, checking the underside and interior secondary woods, and inspecting the quality and wear patterns of the hand-chased ormolu mounts.

This piece functions effectively as a focal point in a home study or living room, paired with minimalist seating to highlight its intricate woodwork and metallic accents without visual crowding.

Maintain stable relative humidity and temperature, avoid direct sunlight to prevent veneer fading, and clean surfaces periodically with a soft, dry cloth without applying harsh chemical polishes.
