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

Originating in mid-18th century Britain, George II wing armchairs are characterised by high padded backs, curved side wings, and cabriole front legs often featuring carved shell or acanthus leaf motifs.

Frames were built using dense timbers such as mahogany, walnut, or beech. Internal construction relied on hand-tied steel or iron springs, webbed jute, hessian lining, and natural horsehair stuffing.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved details, asymmetrical joint mortises, hand-forged tacks, and dense, heavy mahogany front legs showing natural patination and historic wear.

Designers often preserve deconstructed frames with exposed hessian to highlight structural craftsmanship, or re-upholster them in contemporary fabrics like crisp linen or bold velvet to create contrast.

Exposed wood should be treated periodically with clear beeswax polish, while structural textiles require placement away from direct sunlight and high-humidity environments to prevent timber warping and fabric rot.
