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

Chippendale armchairs from the 18th century typically feature elaborate pierced back splats, shaped cresting rails, curved armrests, and dense mahogany construction, reflecting British Georgian design influences.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid Cuban or West Indian mahogany timber, joined with traditional mortise and tenon joints, and fitted with leather or woven textile upholstered seats.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-carved detailing, dark timber patination, hand-cut joinery, irregular saw marks on underside framing timbers, and hand-forged iron or wooden peg fixings.

Position the chair as a standalone accent piece in a study, place it beside a streamlined writing desk, or pair it with modern upholstered furniture to contrast classical woodwork against clean architectural lines.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a high-grade beeswax polish sparingly once per year along the grain, and position the timber away from direct heat sources or rapid humidity changes.
