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

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

Regency style furniture, prominent in the early 19th century, draws heavily from classical Greek and Roman designs, featuring clean lines, restrained ornamentation, and often dark woods like mahogany with gilded accents.

These chairs typically feature frames constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or beech, traditionally joined using mortise and tenon techniques with hand-stitched upholstery stuffing like horsehair.

Authentic pieces exhibit traditional hand-cut joinery, old growth timber grain, hand-forged or early machine screws, and traditional upholstery foundations rather than modern staples or synthetic webbing.

Pairing antique seating with contemporary textiles or placing them alongside minimalist modern furniture creates a balanced, layered aesthetic that highlights the historical craftsmanship.

Keep wooden frames away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood splitting, and protect delicate antique textiles or stuffing by vacuuming gently with a low-suction brush attachment.
