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 were premier London cabinetmakers and upholsterers operating throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Renowned for their high quality and patented spring seat construction, their upholstered chairs became staple furnishings in English country houses.

Chairs from this period typically feature solid hardwood frames, horsehair and down filling, steel coil springs, and turned wooden legs fitted with brass castors. Outer upholstery ranged from wool damask and silk to heavy cotton canvas.

Authentic pieces generally feature a makers stamp on the inside of the rear wooden leg, stamped brass castors bearing the makers name, or patterned fabric ticking printed with the Howard and Sons monogram.

A classic nineteenth-century upholstered armchair functions well as a focal accent chair in a living room, study, or bedroom. Pairing traditional button-tufted seating with contemporary lighting or modern artwork creates a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Fabric upholstery should be regularly vacuumed using a low-suction soft brush attachment to remove dust without damaging fibers. Wooden legs require occasional treatment with natural beeswax, and brass castors should be kept dry and clear of debris.
