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 the nineteenth century, a captains desk chair is a low-backed armchair traditionally designed with a curved crest rail, turned spindles, and an upholstered seat for use at writing desks or in study spaces.

Victorian desk chairs were primarily constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, combined with full-grain leather upholstery, brass studs, and metal or ceramic castors.

Authentic Victorian examples typically feature hand-turned wooden spindles, period-correct brass or ceramic castors, hand-tacked brass studding, and traditional deep-buttoned leather craftsmanship.

A pair of leather desk chairs can be positioned opposite a sofa, placed alongside a mahogany writing table, or integrated into an office or library scheme to add historical character.

To preserve antique leather, apply a specialised leather conditioner periodically, keep the timber dusted with a soft cloth, and position the chairs away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or cracking.
