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

Country house armchairs from the 19th century are characterised by deep seating, generous padding, low-slung frames, and rolled arms or scrolled backs designed for informal comfort in private residence morning rooms or libraries.

Victorian upholstered chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany, birch, or beech, constructed with mortise and tenon joinery, hand-tied steel coil springs, natural hair padding, and turned wooden legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic pieces by John Taylor & Sons of Edinburgh often feature stamped maker marks or brass nameplates on the underside of the frame or back legs, along with high-grade cabinetmaking joinery and stamped brass castors.

A Victorian armchair acts as a focal accent piece when placed alongside contemporary minimalist side tables, neutral floor lamps, and clean-lined architectural backdrop elements to balance historical texture with modern lines.

Keep upholstered antique chairs out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, brush or vacuum upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment, and periodically inspect brass castors and timber legs for stability.
