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 Victorian show-frame armchair features exposed carved timber framing around the upholstered backrest, seat, and arms. When combined with Chesterfield styling, it incorporates deep button tufting, brass studding, and hand-finished leather upholstery.

Victorian seating traditionally utilized solid hardwood frames such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, combined with coil springs, horsehair padding, natural leather hides, and hand-tacked brass upholstery nails.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved timber detailing, traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-tied coil spring suspension, and natural aging or patination on the leather and wood surface.

Positioning a pair of leather armchairs across from a modern sofa creates balanced conversational seating. Pairing them with contemporary lighting and neutral textiles highlights the rich colour and grain of the antique timber and leather.

Maintain leather by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or cracking. Regular dusting and occasional application of a specialist leather conditioner preserves flexibility and finish.
