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

George III shield back chairs, heavily influenced by George Hepplewhite designs in the late 18th century, feature a distinctive shield-shaped backrest enclosing decorative pierced splats such as wheat sheaves, urns, or drapery motifs.

These chairs were traditionally crafted from dense West Indian mahogany timber, featuring hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, corner blocks for frame support, and carved openwork splats paired with brass-tacked upholstery.

Authentic period chairs display hand-carved decorative elements, pegged joinery, visible tool marks on the frame undersides, and natural timber shrinkage over time, contrasting with the machine-made uniformity of later Victorian reproductions.

A pair of shield back chairs functions well as accent seating in an entrance hall, placed beside a console table, or positioned alongside modern furniture to introduce formal historical lines and rich timber tones.

Maintain the mahogany timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying beeswax annually, while protecting the fabric from direct sunlight and controlling ambient humidity to prevent wood movement.
