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

Balloon back chairs originated in the 1830s during the early Victorian period, characterised by a continuous rounded backrest frame resembling an inflated balloon above a decorative horizontal cross-rail.

These chairs were typically constructed from fine hardwoods such as solid mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, featuring traditional mortise and tenon joinery alongside woven fabric or leather upholstery.

Authentic period pieces display crisp hand-carved detailing, rich natural patination on mahogany frames, hand-turned front legs, and period-appropriate corner block joinery beneath the seat frame.

A set of mahogany balloon back chairs can be paired with a contemporary oak or stone dining table to create an intentional visual contrast between historical craftsmanship and modern lines.

Wooden frames should be dusted regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and nourished periodically using natural beeswax polish, while fabric seats require gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment.
