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.

A French two-seat sofa from 1880, crafted in the Louis XVI style. The warm brown walnut frame exhibits fine carved cresting at the top of the oval backrest, fluted turned legs, and padded armrests covered in the same peach patterned damask fabric as the seat and back. The original upholstery displays a repeating damask motif across the peach background, complemented by detailed wood mouldings along the curved frame and carved floral elements on the arm supports. This compact seating piece sits comfortably in a drawing room, bedroom or reading corner, adding classic French Chateau character to traditional or eclectic interiors. Measuring 97 cm high, 112 cm wide, 71 cm overall depth with a 43 cm seat height, it offers an inviting spot for two people to sit while remaining easy to position within smaller spaces.

FAQs

A Louis XVI settee is defined by Neoclassical design principles, featuring straight fluted legs, symmetrical wood carvings, and geometric or oval upholstered backrests.

These pieces typically feature solid walnut frames paired with traditional horsehair padding, metal coil springs, and patterned damask or brocade fabrics.

Authenticity can be verified by examining hand-carved joinery, pegged timber construction, natural wood patination, and traditional hand-stitched webbing underneath.

Position the piece alongside contemporary artwork, balance it with neutral minimalist textiles, or place it at the foot of a bed for layered texture.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly to the wood, and keep upholstery away from direct light to avoid fading.
