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

Originating in 18th-century France, a Louis XVI style bergere is a deep, upholstered armchair featuring exposed carved wooden framing and enclosed padded sides between the seat cushion and armrests.

Traditional construction employed solid hardwoods such as walnut, beech, or mahogany for the carved frames, combined with natural horsehair padding, steel coil springs, and full-grain leather or woven textile upholstery secured with brass studs.

Authentic period examples feature hand-carved wood joinery with mortise and tenon construction, hand-tacked upholstery, subtle hand-carved details on the legs and crest rail, and natural patina along timber touchpoints.

Positioning a structured leather armchair alongside a clean-lined side table or beneath architectural lighting creates a focused reading nook, balancing historical texture with modern structural elements.

Keep leather furniture away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent drying and cracking. Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a specialist leather wax conditioner periodically to preserve suppleness.
