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 renowned for their superior craftsmanship, deep sprung comfort, and classic English design originating from the Victorian era.

These chairs typically feature robust beech frames, traditional webbed bases, hand-tied coil springs, and horsehair stuffing, finished with turned mahogany legs and brass castors.

Authenticity is often confirmed by stamped brass castors, stamped back legs, and original paper linings or makers marks underneath the upholstery.

Pair the armchair with a minimalist neutral backdrop to let the traditional pattern and craftsmanship stand out, combining heritage pieces with contemporary lighting and clean-lined furniture.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum regularly using a low-suction attachment, and consult a professional restorer for deep cleaning or frame maintenance.
