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

Crafted during the reign of King George IV between 1820 and 1830, these armchairs bridge late Regency elegance and early Victorian substance, typically featuring rich mahogany timber, reeded legs, and carved architectural details.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilized imported flame mahogany veneers and solid mahogany for outer frames, supported by hidden pine or oak internal seat frames, traditional horsehair stuffing, and brass fixings.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-carved reeding or scrollwork on legs and arms, natural timber shrinkage across wide back rails, and historic oxidation on unpolished undersides.

Position the piece singly as a desk chair or hall accent, pairing its dark mahogany frame and carved silhouette against neutral walls or modern minimalist decor for balanced visual contrast.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish once annually, keeping timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to protect the original finish.
