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 tub chair features a continuous curved backrest that wraps around to form the armrests, creating a semicircular profile. Originating in the eighteenth century and becoming widely popular during the Victorian era, these chairs were designed to enclose the sitter for warmth and comfort.

Authentic period tub chairs typically feature a solid hardwood frame, such as beech or oak, stuffed with natural horsehair or coconut fibre. The seat usually incorporates hand-tied coil springs supported by jute webbing, finished with brass casters on tapered or turned timber legs.

Authentic period pieces exhibit deep, hand-tufted buttoning anchored directly through the internal upholstery layer. The underside should display traditional jute webbing and hand-sewn spring ties rather than modern synthetic foam or elasticated straps.

Positioning an upholstered tub chair alongside contemporary minimalism provides a balance of texture and form. The low profile works effectively in reading nooks, bedroom corners, or paired opposite a structured modern sofa.

Vacuum velvet upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment in the direction of the pile to remove dust. Keep the fabric away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and consult a specialist restorer for deep cleaning or timber leg care.
