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

The Howard style is characterised by its deeply comfortable, low-slung profile, gently sloping arms, and generous squab cushions, originating from the renowned cabinet makers Howard & Sons.

Authentic pieces typically feature a solid beechwood frame, traditional coil spring upholstery, horsehair stuffing, and feather-filled cushions, supported by turned walnut legs with brass castors.

Key indicators include stamped brass castors, numbered framework legs, traditional hand-stitched piping, and dense, multi-layered stuffing materials rather than modern foam.

These classic pieces serve as comfortable focal points that anchor a room, pairing well with minimalist contemporary decor to create a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and professional specialist dry cleaning help preserve delicate fabrics and natural internal stuffing materials.
