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

Howard and Sons pieces are characterised by superior joinery, traditional stuffing materials, and distinctively marked brass castors, representing the pinnacle of late 19th-century British upholstery.

These chairs typically feature beech frames, traditional webbed and coil-sprung bases, horsehair stuffing, and hand-tufted buttoning supported by turned wooden legs with brass castors.

Authenticity is verified by stamped brass castors, serial numbers usually stamped on the back leg, printed ticking linings, and paper manufacturer labels on the webbing.

Pairing a traditional button-back chair with modern minimalist furnishings creates a balanced contrast, allowing the historical craftsmanship to serve as a focal point in a bedroom or reading corner.

Preserve the fabric by keeping the chair away from direct sunlight, vacuuming gently with a soft brush attachment, and professional cleaning when required to protect fragile historical textiles.
