Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.

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

Library armchairs typically feature robust wooden construction, deep cushioning, and ergonomic heights intended for prolonged reading and study in traditional libraries or studies.

They are traditionally crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, often paired with hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and heavy textile or leather upholstery.

Authentication involves examining joinery methods, such as hand-cut dovetails or mortise and tenon joints, inspecting timber oxidisation, and checking for wear patterns consistent with age.

They work well as statement reading chairs in contemporary spaces, contrasting cleanly against neutral walls, minimalist architectural lines, or modern metallic accents.

Maintain them by regular gentle vacuuming of the fabric, conditioning exposed wooden elements with appropriate wax or polish, and keeping them away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
