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

Howard and Sons armchairs originated in Victorian England, renowned for their exceptional joinery, coiled spring systems, and deeply comfortable, low-slung proportions that set a new standard for luxury upholstery.

Authentic pieces feature robust beech frames, hand-tied steel coil springs, layered horsehair stuffing, and heavy calico or patterned cotton ticking, often supported by turned walnut legs with brass castors stamped by the maker.

Authentication relies on examining the stamped brass castors, serial numbers typically marked on the rear leg, handwritten manufacturer signatures on the webbing, and the distinct traditional weight and density of the internal stuffing.

Pairing this classic piece with minimalist contemporary furnishings creates a balanced contrast, allowing the historic silhouette and traditional pattern to anchor the room as a sophisticated focal point.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, protection from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and professional dry cleaning or conservation assessment for delicate historical textiles.
