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

Shield-back armchairs feature backrests shaped like a medieval shield, popularised during the Neoclassical period by designers like George Hepplewhite. They typically incorporate pierced splats carved with wheat sheaves, drapery swags, or urn motifs.

Frames were crafted from dense hardwoods such as beech, mahogany, or walnut, frequently layered with gesso and distemper paint finishes. Upholstered seats were built using natural webbed foundations, horsehair padding, and linen or silk covers.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved details, pegged mortise-and-tenon joints, and genuine paint wear with exposed timber beneath. The patina shows uneven oxidisation and natural paint distress rather than uniform modern distressing.

These armchairs function well as statement carver chairs at the heads of a dining table, placed as a pair flanking an entrance hall table, or positioned as accent seating alongside contemporary upholstered sofas.

Dust regularly using a dry, soft microfibre cloth without commercial polish or solvent cleaners that can strip original paint. Maintain stable humidity levels indoors to prevent the hardwood frames from shrinking or cracking.
