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.

Originating in the nineteenth century, Victorian desk chairs typically feature a curved horseshoe-shaped backrest supported by turned spindles, designed for comfort and stability in offices and libraries.

These chairs were commonly crafted from dense hardwoods such as walnut, oak, or mahogany, upholstered in natural leather, and finished with individual brass close-nail studding.

Authentic pieces display hand-turned spindle supports, original brass or ceramic castors, hand-driven brass studs, and natural wear across the timber frame and leather joints.

Position the chair alongside a minimalist modern desk or within a dedicated reading corner to introduce warm wood tones, leather texture, and historical contrast.

Apply a specialist leather nourish balm to prevent drying and cracking, keep the frame away from direct heat sources, and polish the timber with natural beeswax paste.
