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

Wingback chairs were originally designed in 17th-century England to capture heat from fireplaces and protect occupants from cold drafts. By the 18th and 19th centuries, cabinetmakers integrated elaborate wood carving, cabriole legs, and luxurious upholstery to create formal library seating.

Frame construction from this era typically features solid dense hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, joined with traditional mortise and tenon woodwork. Upholstery consists of woven wool, silk brocade, damask, or leather held over hand-tied steel coil springs and natural stuffing materials like horsehair.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved decoration along the knees, apron, and arm terminals, showing subtle variations rather than machine perfection. Inspect the underside for natural wood oxidisation, hand-saw marks, and historical wear on the feet and joints.

Place the chair beside a simple contemporary floor lamp or alongside modern fitted cabinetry to create a balanced reading corner. Combining traditional dark carved timber with neutral background tones allows the silhouette and craftsmanship of the chair to stand out.

Keep the chair away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber cracking and fabric fading. Dust the carved woodwork regularly with a soft cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly to exposed mahogany, and vacuum the upholstery gently with a brush attachment.
