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.
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.
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.

Seating from this era is recognised by curvaceous outlines, vasiform back splats, S-scroll arms, and cabriole legs terminating in pad or claw-and-ball feet. Decorative elements frequently include hand-carved shell and acanthus motifs on the crest rail and knees.

Framing from this period primarily utilised solid European walnut or walnut veneers over oak and pine sub-frames. Construction relied on hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery held with wooden pegs, alongside hand-stitched foundation upholstery.

Authentic period pieces exhibit slight asymmetry in hand-carved details, irregular saw marks on unrefined undersides, and natural oxidation on raw timber surfaces. Look for genuine wear patterns on stretchers, armrests, and foot terminals where usage naturally occurs.

These open armchairs can serve as statement accent seating in a living room, flanking a hall console, or positioned at the head of a dining table. Updating the drop-in seat cushions with neutral textured fabrics creates contrast against dark walnut timber.

Timber surfaces should be dusted with a soft, dry cloth and treated periodically with a natural beeswax polish to preserve the patina. Keep furniture away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage and fabric fading.
