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.

Hall porter chairs, featuring domed or hooded tops, originated in eighteenth-century Britain and France to protect hall porters from cold draughts near grand entrance doorways.

Traditional porter chairs feature solid hardwood frames, such as walnut or beech, constructed with deep-buttoned or flat upholstery in heavy damask, velvet, or leather.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved wood accents, traditional webbing and horsehair stuffing beneath the seat, and original joint construction rather than modern staple fastenings.

Position a hooded porter chair as a singular accent piece in a large foyer, dressing room, or quiet corner of a living space to add architectural height.

Clean velvet upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner, keep the piece away from direct sunlight to avoid fading, and apply beeswax to the exposed timber.
