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

A 19th-century tub armchair features a rounded backrest that wraps continuously around to form integrated armrests. The button-back or tufted upholstery technique was used both for structural firmness and visual depth, combining comfort with refined Victorian craftsmanship.

Seating from this era was constructed using solid timber frames, frequently carved mahogany, walnut, or rosewood. Internal cushioning relied on natural materials such as horsehair, coiled steel springs, jute webbing, and cotton padding, covered in silk, velvet, or printed cotton.

Authentic pieces feature solid wood frames with hand-carved arm facings or turned legs, often fitted with original brass castors. Look for hand-tied coil springs underneath, traditional horsehair stuffing, and deep buttoning anchored through the frame rather than superficial modern tufting.

A period armchair serves as a focal point in modern living rooms, bedrooms, or reading nooks. Pairing patterned vintage upholstery with minimalist side tables, natural linen drapery, or contemporary neutral walls creates an engaging balance of historical character and modern simplicity.

Vacuum the fabric gently using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust build-up, and keep the piece out of direct sunlight to avoid fabric fading. Clean the wooden legs and arm facings with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally to preserve the timber finish.
