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

Originating in nineteenth-century Britain, these chairs are renowned for their deep seat proportions, comfortable spring construction, and distinctive open or padded arm profiles.

Traditional nineteenth-century armchairs feature hardwood timber frames, steel coil springs, hand-laced jute webbing, natural hair filling, and brass castors mounted on turned legs.

Authentic period armchairs often display stamped maker marks or serial numbers on the rear timber leg or metal castors, alongside traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints.

Position the armchair alongside a minimalist floor lamp or side table to create a functional reading corner, balancing patterned historic upholstery with neutral wall finishes.

Vacuum upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment, keep the fabric away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and treat exposed timber legs with natural beeswax.
