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.

French open armchairs, known historically as fauteuils, developed significantly during the 18th century. Under the reign of Louis XVI, furniture design shifted toward Neoclassical symmetry, characterised by oval medallion backs, exposed carved timber frames, and straight fluted legs.

Traditional construction involved carved solid hardwoods such as walnut, beech, or oak for the exposed framework. Interior construction utilised traditional upholstery techniques including hand-tied steel coil springs, jute webbing, animal hair padding, and woven fabric upholstery.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved joinery with visible wooden dowels, hand-chiseled wood grain, and irregular fluting on the legs. Original frames typically display older upholstery tack marks and natural oxidisation on unpainted timber surfaces.

Pairs of open armchairs work effectively when placed opposite a sofa to frame a coffee table or situated on either side of a fireplace. Their open-frame construction maintains visual sightlines, making them suitable for compact drawing rooms or bedroom corners.

Fabric upholstery should be gently vacuumed using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust accumulation. Timber frames require periodic application of clear beeswax polish to maintain moisture, and pieces should be kept away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent fabric fading.
