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.
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.
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.

Victorian armchairs are characterised by deep button-back tufting, generous padding, curved backs, and turned mahogany or walnut front legs set on brass castors. Design during this era focused on comfort and substantial proportions suited for drawing rooms and libraries.

Traditional Victorian armchair construction utilised solid mahogany or walnut frames, coil springs, horsehair filling, and brass castors. Upholstery fabrics included silk damask, wool, and heavy cotton or silk velvets.

Authentic maker-stamped pieces feature impressed lettering or brass plates on the rear leg, frame underside, or castors. Stamps typically include cabinetmaker names, inventory numbers, or royal monograms alongside hand-cut joinery details.

Victorian velvet armchairs bring texture and historical character to modern spaces when paired with contemporary art, minimalist side tables, or placed as conversational seating pairs opposite a sofa.

Velvet upholstery should be gently brushed with a soft velvet brush and kept away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Mahogany legs require periodic applications of natural beeswax to preserve the original wood finish and patina.
