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.

The George II style featured prominent cabriole legs, ball-and-claw feet, and intricate wood carving on splats and knees, reflecting mid-18th century British design transitions toward Rococo and Chippendale influences.

Dense imported Cuban mahogany was the primary timber choice, valued for its rich grain, strength, and suitability for high-relief hand carving, typically paired with woven damask or floral upholstery.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-cut joinery, asymmetrical hand-carved ornamentation on knees and back splats, tool marks on unexposed framing, and natural timber oxidisation consistent with age.

Position the armchair as a singular accent chair in a contemporary study, beside a fireplace, or at the head of a dining table to create deliberate historical contrast.

Dust the carved timber regularly with a soft dry cloth, apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, and keep upholstery protected from direct sunlight and heat sources.
