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

Popularised in the 18th century, these specialised chairs were designed for a sitter to sit astride facing backwards, using the padded top rail to support the arms and chest while reading or observing events.

Frames were predominantly crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, with internal padding composed of horsehair, straw, and hessian prior to receiving top leather or textile upholstery.

Authentic period examples feature hand-turned timber legs, brass castors, period-appropriate joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, and structural proportion built for backward sitting rather than standard armchair lounging.

Deconstructed chairs present strong sculptural interest, making them suitable as focal art pieces in contemporary studies, hallways, or eclectic living spaces alongside modern minimalist decor.

Timber elements should be maintained with natural beeswax paste and kept away from direct heat sources, while exposed original hessian padding should be lightly brushed or vacuumed on low suction to prevent fibre degradation.
