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

Howard and Sons armchairs from the 19th century are characterised by their deep, comfortable proportions, low backs, and expert traditional upholstery techniques, often bearing stamped legs and brass castors.

These pieces typically feature a solid beech or pine frame, traditional coil springs hand-tied with twine, layered horsehair and animal fibre stuffing, and hessian webbing.

Authentic pieces often feature stamped markings on the brass castors, serial numbers inscribed on the wooden back legs, and signature ticking fabric under the loose cushions.

Pairing a traditional upholstered armchair with modern minimalist lighting and neutral walls creates a balanced, layered interior scheme that highlights the historical craftsmanship.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric degradation and wood drying, use gentle surface dusting, and consult a professional conservator for traditional horsehair stuffing repairs.
