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

A Howard and Sons open armchair features a distinctive low-slung profile, deep sprung seating, and exposed wooden arm supports leading to padded armrests. Originating in the late nineteenth century, these pieces were designed for exceptional comfort while maintaining an elegant aesthetic.

These chairs were typically constructed with beech or walnut hardwood frames, filled with natural horsehair padding, and fitted with heavy steel coil springs. The legs feature turned timber and stamped brass castors.

Authentic examples usually feature stamped markings on the inside of the rear legs or on the brass castors themselves. Original ticking fabrics may also display printed maker marks or monograms.

A Victorian open armchair works well when recovered in neutral linen, rich velvet, or contemporary patterned textiles. Placing it alongside modern side lighting creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern interior design.

Restoration should retain the original frame and internal webbing or coil springing where possible. When re-upholstering, traditional materials such as horsehair, hessian, and natural fibre padding should be used instead of synthetic foams to preserve historical integrity.
