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

An iron-back armchair is a Victorian design featuring an internal concealed iron frame within the upper backrest. This structural innovation allowed cabinetmakers to create strength while achieving elegant, slender, curved contours and deep buttoned upholstery.

These chairs were built using a timber base and frame reinforced with shaped iron back supports, padded with natural fillings such as horsehair, and finished with upholstery fabrics like damask or velvet alongside turned wood legs on brass castors.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-turned timber legs, stamped brass castors, hand-stitched deep buttoning, original square-cut iron fixings beneath the frame, and traditional coil spring upholstery construction.

Place the chair in a quiet reading nook, bedroom corner, or alongside modern linear upholstery to create visual texture and balance between period detail and contemporary minimalism.

Vacuum the fabric gently using a soft brush attachment and address spills with professional dry cleaning methods. Apply natural beeswax polish to the turned wooden legs periodically to preserve the original timber patination.
