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.

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

A Victorian elbow armchair features open wooden arms with padded rests, designed to provide ergonomic support while maintaining an elegant silhouette. These pieces typically incorporate turned front legs, button-backed upholstery, and low-slung seats crafted for relaxed domestic settings.

19th-century chairs were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak. The interior upholstery traditionally relied on natural materials, including coiled steel springs, stitched horsehair stuffing, hessian webbings, and cotton padding.

Authentic Howard & Sons pieces are frequently stamped with the makers name or serial number on the rear leg or brass castors. The underside frame construction often features branded ticking fabric or impressed lettering along the wooden rails.

A Victorian velvet armchair serves as a focal accent piece when placed alongside contemporary minimalist sofas or structured metal lighting. Combining historical textile textures with clean, neutral walls creates a balanced visual contrast within modern living spaces.

Velvet fabric should be gently vacuumed using a soft brush attachment to prevent pile flattening, avoiding harsh water-based cleaners. The exposed wooden frame benefit from periodic applications of natural beeswax polish to maintain timber hydration and luster.
