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

Howard and Sons was a renowned London-based upholstery firm established in the 19th century, celebrated for their exceptional craftsmanship, comfortable coiled spring systems, and classic English designs.

Authentic pieces typically feature sturdy beech frames, traditional hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, hessian webbing, and high-quality ticking or upholstery.

Authenticity is often verified by stamped brass castors, numbered legs, makers marks on the webbing or rear leg, and specific traditional stitching techniques unique to the firms workshops.

Pairing a traditional upholstered settee with contemporary lighting and minimalist decor creates a balanced, layered aesthetic that highlights the historical craftsmanship.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping and fabric degradation, and use professional conservation cleaning methods for delicate textiles.
