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

William IV period furniture, produced between 1830 and 1837, marks the transition between Regency elegance and Victorian solidity. It is characterised by robust proportions, bold carved scrollwork, turned legs, and the extensive use of solid mahogany.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or walnut frames, upholstered in natural leather with horsehair padding, and finished with brass studding and castors.

Authentic pieces feature distinct carved scroll arm supports, turned front legs with original brass castors, traditional hand-tufted leather upholstery, and period mortise-and-tenon joinery.

Position the piece as an accent reading seat paired with a contemporary floor lamp and minimalist side table to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Treat the leather periodically with a specialised wax balsam to retain moisture, dust the timber frame with a soft microfibre cloth, and position the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
