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

Originating in 19th-century France, these chairs draw design inspiration from the 18th-century Louis XV period, characterised by curvilinear frames, floral carvings, cabriole legs, and ornate gilded finishes designed for formal reception spaces.

Frames were typically carved from hardwoods such as beechwood or walnut, coated with a gesso layer, and finished with gold leaf gilding, whilst seats were upholstered in woven wool tapestries or silk brocades.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved detail work, evidence of water gilding over red or grey clay bole, hand-woven upholstery tacking, and traditional mortise and tenon joinery rather than modern fasteners.

These statement armchairs can be paired with minimalist contemporary sofas or positioned as accent seating in a bedroom or study to create a juxtaposition between historic craftsmanship and modern lines.

Clean giltwood surfaces using a dry, soft camel-hair brush to avoid disturbing fragile gold leaf, and position tapestry upholstery away from direct sunlight and humidity to prevent fibre degradation.
