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.

This 19th-century Victorian desk chair exhibits an X-framed construction in dark brown walnut, supported on curved intersecting legs centred with a carved floral rosette. The seating comprises deep, soft padding upholstered in dark green leather, finished along the lower seat edge with a row of small brass studding. Turned wooden supports rise from the arms to hold matching padded armrests, while the upright backrest provides support and contains a recessed handhold for mobility. The solid timber shows natural grain variations alongside minor scuffs and marks consistent with regular use. Measuring 87 cm high by 64 cm wide and 64 cm deep, this seating unit functions practically as an occasional armchair or office chair within a study, library, or home workspace. The low-profile design allows it to slide beneath most standard writing desks and tables, while the wide proportions accommodate an adult comfortably during prolonged periods of sitting.

FAQs

An X-frame or curule chair features a cross-shaped support frame originating in classical antiquity, revived during the Renaissance and 19th century for library and desk seating.

These chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames such as oak or mahogany, upholstered in natural leather secured with brass studding and filled with horsehair or spring padding.

Authentic 19th-century examples display hand-carved joinery, original brass upholstery tacks, natural wear patination on the timber frame, and historic hand-stitched leatherwork.

Place the chair beside a minimalist writing desk or within an eclectic study alongside contemporary shelving to create a textured focal point balancing historical depth and clean modern lines.

Maintain leather by dusting regularly with a soft cloth, conditioning annually with specialist leather balm, and keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent drying or cracking.
