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

The Howard style armchair, popularised in the 19th century by the renowned firm Howard & Sons, is characterised by low, rolled arms, deep seating, and exceptional comfort achieved through traditional coiled spring construction.

Authentic pieces typically feature a sturdy beechwood frame, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and heavy brass castors supporting turned wooden front legs.

Key indicators include stamped brass castors, serial numbers or makers marks on the wooden frame or castors, traditional hand-stitched edging, and dense, high-quality stuffing materials.

This versatile seating piece anchors a living space effectively when paired with contemporary minimalist lighting or contrasting modern geometric textiles to bridge traditional and current design aesthetics.

Preserve the fabric by keeping the chair away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum regularly with a low-suction attachment, and consult a professional conservator for traditional upholstery repairs.
