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 France during the Second Empire (18521870), Napoleon III armchairs are distinguished by their plush, fully upholstered frames, low seating height, deeply buttoned backs, and turned timber legs, often ebonised or stained dark.

Traditional construction typically utilised solid beech or oak frames, hand-tied steel coil springs, natural jute webbing, hessian, coir fibre, and horsehair padding, wrapped in cotton calico prior to the application of final fabric.

Look for hand-turned timber legs (frequently with original brass castors), hand-tied webbing beneath the seat, natural stuffing materials visible on unlined sections, and a rounded, deeply tufted backrest silhouette without exposed wooden framing on the back.

Re-upholstering the piece in textured neutral linen or bold jewel-toned velvet creates a balance between historical structure and contemporary aesthetics, making it suitable for a bedroom corner, reading nook, or living space.

Ensure the original timber frame remains structurally sound by repairing any loose joints with wood glue before applying new webbing and springs, and clean exposed timber legs with specialized wax polish to preserve their original patina.
