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.

Victorian button back armchairs are defined by deep tufting secured with buttons across the upholstered backrest, a design popularised during the mid-to-late 19th century to provide structured support and decorative texture.

Late 19th-century armchairs typically feature solid timber frames such as mahogany or walnut, built with steel coil springs, natural hair padding, turned wooden front legs, and brass castors.

Authentic Victorian pieces frequently display hand-turned front legs, brass or ceramic castors, hand-stitched internal padding layers, and solid timber framing joined with traditional mortise and tenon joints.

Position the armchair as an accent seat in a living room, study, or bedroom alongside modern side tables and neutral textiles to create a balanced blend of historic and contemporary elements.

Maintain the upholstery by vacuuming gently with a soft brush attachment, keep the chair out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and regularly check the timber legs and brass castors for stability.
