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

Chippendale style seating, originating in 18th-century England, is characterised by ornate carving, cabriole legs, ball and claw feet, and intricate pierced back splats, predominantly executed in mahogany timber.

High-density mahogany was favoured for its fine grain and strength, combined with traditional mortise and tenon joinery, webbed seat frames, and woven upholstery materials.

Authentic period and quality revival pieces feature hand-carved decorative motifs, corner blocks beneath the seat frame, precise timber joinery, and natural patination along high-touch surfaces like the armrests.

Position the chair alongside a simple contemporary desk or within a home office to create textural contrast between dark mahogany timber and modern minimalist surrounding decor.

Dust detailed carvings regularly with a soft bristle brush, apply a neutral beeswax polish annually to protect the finish, and keep the wood away from direct heat sources and damp air.
