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

A Gainsborough chair, named after the painter Thomas Gainsborough who depicted sitters in them, is a wide-bodied 18th-century English armchair featuring a high rectangular back, padded armrests, and open curved arm supports.

These chairs were typically constructed with solid mahogany frames, featuring mortise-and-tenon joinery, webbed seat suspension, natural hair or wool stuffing, and brass studded upholstery trim.

Authentic 18th-century pieces display hand-cut joinery, period-correct oxidisation on the underside of the mahogany frame, original hand-turned brass castors, and characteristic Georgian proportions.

Positioning a Gainsborough armchair alongside a minimalist side table in a modern study or living room creates a focal point that bridges heritage design with modern aesthetics.

Maintain mahogany timber by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying beeswax annually, while keeping fabric upholstery away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading.
