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

Howard and Sons armchairs are celebrated for their exceptional ergonomic construction, deep sprung seats, and signature low-slung profiles, often stamped on the castors and webbing.

Authentic pieces typically feature solid beech frames, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, hessian webbing, and turned mahogany legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentication relies on identifying stamped manufacturer marks on the back legs, numbered brass castors, signature ticking fabric underlinings, and traditional hand-stitched pleating.

This piece works well paired with minimalist contemporary furniture or classic country house aesthetics, allowing its sculptural silhouette and patterned upholstery to serve as a focal point.

Preservation requires professional dry cleaning for delicate upholstery fabrics, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and treating exposed wooden elements with appropriate wax.
