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.

Popularised during the early twentieth century, an Edwardian nursing chair is a low-seated, armless chair originally designed for mothers nursing infants. These pieces frequently feature timber framing, marquetry or stringing inlay, and decorative back splats typical of the eras design movement.

Edwardian furniture makers predominantly utilised timbers such as mahogany, rosewood, and satinwood, often decorated with marquetry or boxwood stringing. Seats were constructed with traditional webbing and metal springs, upholstered in fabrics such as silk, velvet, or damask.

Authentic Edwardian chairs typically exhibit lightweight proportions, French-polished mahogany finishes, hand-cut marquetry or boxwood stringing, and traditional mortise and tenon joinery. The underside often reveals natural timber aging, original webbing, or hand-stamped maker marks.

An Edwardian nursing chair functions as an accent piece in a bedroom, dressing area, or hallway landing. Combining the dark timber framing and inlaid details with neutral backdrops creates contrast within contemporary schemes.

Keep mahogany chairs away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage, joinery separation, and timber fading. Dust the woodwork with a soft lint-free cloth, apply beeswax polish periodically, and gently vacuum silk upholstery using a brush attachment.
