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.

Originating in the mid-to-late 19th century, a Victorian button back armchair features deep tufted upholstery, often with a spoon-back or tub shape, designed for informal seating in drawing rooms or bedrooms.

These chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames such as beech or walnut, coiled steel spring seats, horsehair padding, turned timber legs with brass castors, and velvet or damask upholstery.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-sawn timber framing, original brass castors stamped with maker details, traditional webbing and horsehair stuffing, and hand-stitched deep buttoning rather than modern foam filling.

Position the armchair as a tactile accent piece in a contemporary living area, bedroom corner, or reading nook to introduce architectural contrast through historical texture and form.

Gently vacuum velvet upholstery using a soft brush attachment in the direction of the pile, avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading, and address spills immediately by blotting with a dry lint-free cloth.
