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.

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

French-style dining chairs from this era are defined by their Rococo and Louis XV influences, featuring serpentine frames, moulded backrests, subtle hand-carved floral or scroll motifs, and elegant cabriole legs terminating in scroll feet.

Cabinetmakers typically utilised dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood for the frames, secured with mortise and tenon joinery. Traditional upholstery involved horsehair padding, steel coil springs, natural jute webbing, and brass stud finishings.

Authentic pieces often bear a stamped maker signature, brass plaque, or paper label on the underside of the seat rail. Additional indicators include hand-cut timber joinery, age-appropriate wear to the leg terminals, and precise hand-carving along the timber borders.

These chairs can be paired with a minimalist oak or stone dining table to create visual contrast between period detailing and modern geometry. Using structured, solid-coloured upholstery allows historical silhouettes to complement contemporary interior palettes.

Timber frames should be dusted with a soft microfibre cloth and treated annually with natural beeswax polish applied in the direction of the grain. Upholstery should be gently vacuumed with a soft brush attachment and kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading.
