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.

This 18th century English study armchair belongs to the Queen Anne period and is constructed from solid walnut in a warm brown tone. The piece displays a contoured vase-shaped splat back, swept armrests terminating in scrolls, a deep scalloped front apron, cabriole front legs, and pad feet. The drop-in seat is upholstered in green velvet, and the timber retains surface marks and patina from age alongside one repair to the arm. Standing 104 cm high, 74.3 cm wide, and 64.7 cm deep, the generous proportions suit use as a desk chair in a study, library, or home office. The seat provides a comfortable working platform while bringing traditional craftsmanship to daily interiors. Position the armchair at a partners desk, writing table, or alongside bookshelves to anchor a traditional workspace or reading corner. The neutral walnut timber blends easily with existing timber furniture and varied interior colour schemes.

FAQs

Originating in Britain during the early to mid-18th century, these chairs feature contoured vase-shaped splats, swept open armrests, and cabriole front legs terminating in pad feet.

Craftspeople constructed these frames using solid or veneered walnut joined with traditional hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, often incorporating soft-wood subframes for drop-in seats.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn wood marks, natural oxidisation on untouched underside surfaces, slight irregularity in hand-carved elements, and subtle wear patterns around the feet.

Place the piece alongside a contemporary writing desk, pair it with a minimalist floor lamp in an alcove, or use it as an accent chair in a modern hallway.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a thin coat of natural beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, and keep the timber away from direct heat sources.
