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.

Popularised during the mid-19th century, Victorian balloon back chairs feature a continuous curved backrest resembling an inflated balloon, often trimmed with carved scrollwork and paired with shaped cabriole legs.

Craftsmen typically utilised solid Indian rosewood or rosewood veneers over oak, paired with traditional upholstery components such as horsehair padding, steel coil springs, and fabrics like velvet or silk damask.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved decorative motifs, hand-turned or shaped cabriole legs, authentic joinery techniques like hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, and natural wear under the seat frame.

A single Victorian chair functions as an accent piece alongside a contemporary writing desk, within a reading nook, or placed in an entryway to balance modern architectural lines with historical craftsmanship.

Apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, keep the piece away from direct heat sources, and gently vacuum the velvet using a soft brush attachment.
