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 Howard armchair style, prominent in the 19th century, is characterised by deep comfort, precise craftsmanship, and low profiles designed for relaxed seating in drawing rooms and bedrooms.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, sturdy hardwood frames such as beech or mahogany, and turned wooden legs fitted with brass castors.

Authenticity is verified through stamped makers marks on the brass castors, numbered legs, traditional webbing construction, and historical upholstery techniques consistent with the 19th century.

This piece works well as an accent seat in a bedroom or living room, paired with minimalist modern furniture to highlight its historic character and patterned textile upholstery.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a low-suction attachment, protection from direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, and professional cleaning for historic fabrics.
