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

Victorian armchairs are typically characterised by deep button tufting, robust wooden frames, and an emphasis on padded comfort and formal elegance.

These chairs generally feature a hardwood frame made of mahogany, walnut, or beech, traditionally stuffed with horsehair, straw, and wadding beneath silk or cotton velvet upholstery.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-tied coil springs, traditional stuffing materials, hand-carved wooden components showing natural patina, and period-appropriate joinery such as mortise and tenon.

Pairing this piece with minimalist modern furniture or placing it against a neutral wall allows the historic texture and rich colour to serve as a sophisticated focal point.

Velvet should be gently brushed with the nap using a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and avoid crushing; professional dry cleaning is recommended for deeper maintenance to protect the delicate pile.
