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

An open armchair features armrests that are supported by upright posts or frames rather than being fully upholstered down to the seat frame. Popularised in the nineteenth century, these designs offered a lighter visual profile while maintaining seat comfort.

Craftsmen utilised solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or oak for internal frames and turned legs, combined with steel coil springs, natural fillings, and brass castors.

Authentic pieces frequently feature stamped markings or makers marks on the rear legs or brass castors, as well as distinctively branded ticking fabric on original underlying upholstery.

Position the armchair as a focal accent alongside minimalist contemporary furniture, using subtle lighting or neutral background walls to balance classic and modern visual elements.

Keep fabric upholstery away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment, and polish exposed wooden legs using natural beeswax.
