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

Established in London during the nineteenth century, Howard & Sons became famous for manufacturing upholstered chairs, sofas, and footstools. The firm gained international recognition for its patented soft upholstery techniques, coil spring arrangements, and distinctive printed fabric tickings.

Traditional nineteenth-century footstools were constructed using solid hardwood frames such as beech or mahogany. Internal layers utilised steel coil springs, horsehair padding, hessian, and natural fibre webbing, finished with decorative textile covers and brass castors.

Authentic pieces frequently bear impressed maker stamps on the inside face of the wooden legs or stamped brass castors reading Howard & Sons London. Additionally, original upholstery may feature monogrammed canvas or printed lining fabric bearing the makers name and address.

An antique footstool can be positioned in front of a sofa or armchair to act as a footrest, or placed in a hallway or bedroom space. To adapt its function in a modern living room, a flat decorative tray can be placed on top to convert the piece into a low coffee table surface.

Textile covers should be brushed gently with a soft-bristled brush or vacuumed using a low-suction upholstery attachment to prevent dirt build-up. Direct exposure to strong sunlight should be avoided to minimise fabric fading, and specialist textile conservators should handle severe stains.
