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

Victorian armchairs are characterised by robust wooden frames, often featuring elaborate carvings, deep button tufting, and plush upholstery designed for comfort and status.

These pieces typically utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood for the structural frame, paired with horsehair stuffing, coil springs, and luxury textiles like velvet or wool for the upholstery.

Authenticity is indicated by traditional joinery methods, hand-carved detailing, aged patina on the timber, handmade brass castors, and period-appropriate textile wear beneath the cushions.

This type of seating works effectively as a statement piece in a modern room, contrasting clean architectural lines with rich textures, deep colours, and historical craftsmanship.

Velvet requires gentle brushing with a soft-bristled brush to maintain the pile direction and should be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent fading; professional dry cleaning is recommended for deep restoration.
