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.

This nineteenth-century wing armchair follows the George III style and works well in a traditional study, a reading corner, or a home library. The substantial frame has a deep-buttoned upholstered back, scrolling arms, and a sprung seat, all covered in original warm brown leather with a rich patina. Close-nailed brass stud trim borders the front edges of the arms and the lower seat frame. The structure stands on hand-carved mahogany cabriole legs that finish in ball and claw feet. Measuring 107 cm high, 78 cm wide, and 70 cm deep with a 42 cm seat height, the armchair provides a comfortable and supportive seat. The leather shows a small tear on the back along with visible surface wear that comes from age and years of use. This piece offers an authentic period look and serves as a classic seating option for daily use in a living room or office space.

FAQs

Originating as draft-excluding fireside seating, a 19th-century wingback chair features elevated side panels, a high backrest, and padded armrests designed to trap heat from open fires.

Frames were constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, webbed with jute and steel coil springs, upholstered in full-grain leather, and finished with individual brass studwork.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved details such as cabriole legs ending in ball-and-claw feet, deep hand-tufted buttoning, individual brass tacking along seams, and natural surface wear on the leather.

Position the chair alongside library shelving or a hearth, pairing the heavy leather profile with modern floor lighting and neutral floor textiles to balance the visual weight.

Dust the leather regularly with a dry cloth and apply a specialist leather conditioner annually to prevent cracking, while ensuring placement remains clear of direct radiators and sunlight.
