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.

Originating in late seventeenth-century England, the wingback chair was constructed with high side panels, or wings, to protect the sitter from room draughts and to trap heat from an open fireplace. By the 1920s, manufacturers produced revived Georgian and Queen Anne style variants featuring deep upholstery, curved aprons, and decorative carved feet.

Armchairs from this period typically feature solid hardwood internal frames, such as beech or oak, jointed with mortise and tenon construction. Comfort was achieved using hand-tied steel coil springs, jute webbing, and natural fillings including horsehair, fibre, and cotton felt prior to final upholstery.

Authentic seating from the 1920s displays period-accurate frame joinery beneath the upholstery, visible hand-carving on exposed timber legs, and proper weight due to solid hardwood construction and heavy internal iron springs. Search for uniform corner block supports and natural wear patterns on timber foot terminals.

A classic wing armchair functions well as a focal point in a reading corner, study, or bedroom. Contrast structured striped or pattern upholstery against modern plain walls, pairing the piece with a contemporary side table and minimalist floor lamp to balance traditional cabriole leg details.

Keep upholstered seating away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fabric fading and timber drying. Vacuum fabric gently with a soft brush attachment, clean spills immediately with specialized upholstery cleaner, and treat exposed carved timber feet with clear beeswax polish.
