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

William Birch was a prominent High Wycombe furniture maker active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, renowned for producing Arts and Crafts designs supplied directly to Liberty & Co.

Edwardian chaise longues were constructed using solid hardwood timber frames, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, brass castors, and velvet or woven wool upholstery.

Authentic pieces often feature maker stamps or Liberty stock numbers on the rear legs, hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, original brass castors, and distinctive sweeping arm profiles.

Positioning a chaise longue near a window alcove or library wall creates an inviting reading nook that offers texture and historical contrast to modern architecture.

Maintain velvet upholstery by gently brushing with a soft-bristle attachment along the pile to remove dust, avoiding liquid cleaners that could mark or mat natural pile fibers.
