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.
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.
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.

Seating from the George III era (17601820) reflects Neoclassical influences popularized by designers such as Thomas Chippendale, George Hepplewhite, and Thomas Sheraton. Features typically include slender proportions, refined timber carving, tapered or turned legs, and openwork back motifs such as lattice, shield, or wheel designs.

High-grade dense mahogany imported from the West Indies was the primary timber choice due to its stability, tight grain, and rich colour. Joinery relied on traditional mortise and tenon construction, with seats upholstered in horsehair, wool damask, or silk over webbed wooden frames.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-saw marks on secondary timbers, hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, and slight irregularities from hand-tooling. The mahogany displays a deep patination formed over centuries, while the undersides of the rails show age-related darkening and hand-chiseled recessing for corner blocks.

A pair of period carver chairs can be placed at the heads of a modern dining table to introduce warm timber accents and historical contrast. Alternatively, they function well as standalone desk chairs or accent seating in hallways and living rooms alongside contemporary art and minimalist decor.

Dust mahogany frames regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber and protect the patina. Keep pieces away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage, joint loosening, and fabric fading.
