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

Originally designed in 16th-century France and Britain, porter chairs were placed near the main entrance of grand residences for hall porters to sit in while guarding against cold draughts.

Traditional porter chairs feature a solid hardwood internal frame, hand-dyed leather upholstery, deep button tufting, and decorative brass studding along the borders.

Authentic leather craftsmanship exhibits natural colour variations from hand-dyeing processes, deep-set buttoning within the upholstery, and hand-tacked brass studding.

A leather porter chair serves as a bold focal point in a dedicated reading corner, home office, or hallway, paired alongside timber shelving and soft background lighting.

Keep hand-dyed leather away from direct heat sources and sun exposure to prevent drying, and apply a specialised leather conditioning balm regularly to preserve its finish.
