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

Arts and Crafts seating from this era emphasizes visible structural joinery, honest use of natural materials such as walnut or oak, and hand-carved decorative elements that celebrate artisan craftsmanship over mass production.

Framing was typically crafted from dense hardwoods like walnut, mahogany, or oak, combined with deep button-tufted hide upholstery, horsehair padding, steel springs, and brass castors.

Authentic period chairs feature hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, natural wear or craquelure on genuine leather, hand-carved timber accents, original brass or ceramic castors, and hand-driven brass studding.

Position the armchair alongside a minimalist side table and contemporary reading lamp to create a textural contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern architectural lines.

Condition the leather periodically with specialised hide balm to prevent drying and cracking, and apply natural beeswax polish to the carved walnut frame to protect the patinated timber surface.
