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

Victorian slipper chairs are characterised by their low-set seats and lack of arms, historically designed to allow women to comfortably put on shoes and voluminous garments.

These chairs typically feature a hardwood frame, traditionally made from mahogany or walnut, with hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and deep button tufting.

Authentic pieces often exhibit traditional joinery, hand-turned timber legs, brass castors, and period-appropriate webbing and stuffing materials underneath.

This style works well as an accent piece in a bedroom or living room, pairing traditional pattern upholstery with minimalist modern furnishings to create textural contrast.

Preserve the fabric through gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and protect the wooden elements and castors by avoiding excess moisture and direct sunlight.
