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

Originating in nineteenth-century London, Howard and Sons sofas are renowned for deep seating, low rolled arms, and high-quality internal upholstery using coil springs and horsehair. Their designs prioritised ergonomic comfort while maintaining formal proportions suitable for English country houses.

Frames were typically constructed from seasoned hardwood such as beech or oak, fitted with iron coil springs and padded with horsehair and wool felt. The legs were usually turned from walnut or mahogany and fitted with stamped brass castors.

Authentic pieces frequently feature maker stamps or printed serial numbers on the inside of the rear wooden legs or stamped onto the brass castors. Original seat upholstery often incorporates monogrammed Howard and Sons ticking fabric beneath outer covers.

Positioning a nineteenth-century upholstered sofa against neutral walls creates a balanced focal point in a contemporary living space. Pair the piece with modern lighting, clean-lined side tables, and textured scatter cushions to blend traditional craftsmanship with modern design.

Vacuum upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust build-up in fabric fibres. Clean brass castors with a dry cloth to preserve natural patination, and treat wooden legs with a clear microcrystalline wax to protect the finish.
