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.
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.
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.

Originating in the nineteenth century, Victorian open armchairs feature exposed wooden frames, often incorporating Rococo and Louis XV Revival curves, shaped backs, and upholstered arm pads known as manchettes.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, paired with traditional horsehair padding, coiled steel springs, and luxury upholstery fabrics like silk velvet or damask.

Authentic Victorian pieces feature hand-carved timber details, rich grain patterns in dense walnut, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, original brass castors, and natural age patina on exposed frame elements.

Place a Victorian armchair as a standalone statement piece alongside modern minimalist side tables, or pair it with contemporary lighting to create a refined contrast between period craft and modern aesthetics.

Dust walnut frames using a soft cloth and apply beeswax periodically, while gently vacuuming velvet upholstery with a soft brush attachment to prevent dust build-up, keeping the timber away from direct sunlight.
