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 tub armchair is characterized by a continuous curved back and armrest structure forming a deep, enclosed seating area designed for comfort and warmth.

These chairs typically feature a hardwood frame such as mahogany, walnut, or beech, traditionally stuffed with horsehair, wool, and wadding, secured with hessian and springs.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-turned wooden legs, brass castors, traditional joinery methods, and the ageing of internal stuffing materials like horsehair and hessian.

It can be paired with minimalist modern furnishings to create a focal point, contrasting historical craftsmanship with clean, contemporary lines.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and moisture, gently vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, and consulting a professional restorer for structural or textile repairs.
