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

Emerging in the 1830s and remaining popular throughout the 19th century, balloon back dining chairs feature a rounded, continuous back frame resembling a hot air balloon, often paired with cabriole or turned legs.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised solid walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, constructing frames with mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved decorative crests, and padded seats.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved details with minor variations between individual chairs, traditional joinery, natural timber patination on the underframe, and evidence of historic upholstery techniques.

These chairs pair effectively with contemporary stone or timber dining tables to create a curated visual contrast, or can be dressed in modern textured fabrics to bridge historic woodwork with modern decor.

Clean the timber frames regularly using a soft lint-free cloth, apply clear beeswax polish annually following the wood grain, and position the items away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement.
