Archival Detail
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.

A Victorian tub chair is characterised by a curved backrest that seamlessly wraps around the sides to form integrated armrests. Designed primarily as accent or casual seating, these pieces frequently feature low seats, button-tufted upholstery, turned timber legs, and brass castors.

Frames were typically crafted from hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, often ebonised or polished. Upholstery incorporated natural horsehair padding, steel coiled springs, jute webbing, and rich textiles including velvet, damask, or needlepoint tapestry.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-carved details, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and genuine age wear to the ebonised finish. Check the underside for hand-tacked webbing, original brass castor fittings, and hand-turned legs.

Place the chair in a quiet corner, bedroom, or dressing area to create a textured focal point. Contrast its patterned upholstery and dark frame against neutral walls, contemporary minimalist case goods, or natural wood flooring.

Dust ebonised frames regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid moisture or harsh solvents that may strip the finish. Vacuum velvet upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment and address fabric spills immediately by blotting with a clean, dry cloth.
