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 early Victorian occasional chair dates from the mid 19th Century and belongs to the Victorian period. The timber frame displays a dark brown finish and supports a sprung seat, complemented by a continuous scroll back. The upholstery consists of a multicoloured wool needlepoint tapestry featuring red, green and cream patterns arranged in vertical ribbons. The front stands on carved cabriole legs with foliate-capped scroll supports fitted with original brass castors. Visible wear includes slight fraying along the lower edge of the seat trim and subtle variations in the polished wood surface. The chair measures 90 cm high, 52 cm wide, and 43 cm deep, with a seat height of 40 cm and a total depth of 74 cm. In a modern interior, this piece suits placement as an accent seat in a living room, study, bedroom, or dressing room. The low profile and compact footprint allow it to fit comfortably beside a fireplace, under a window, or in a reading corner. The castors permit easy repositioning across carpeted or wooden flooring for conversation groups or quiet relaxation.

FAQs

Emerging in the mid-19th century, early Victorian occasional chairs feature curved scroll backs, low armless seats, and decorative woven upholstery such as needlepoint or tapestry.

Frames were typically crafted from solid mahogany or walnut, incorporating hand-carved cabriole legs, brass castors, and natural horsehair stuffing beneath woven wool textile upholstery.

Authentic pieces display hand-stitched needlework, hand-carved wooden frame details, traditional brass castors fixed with original iron screws, and hand-tied coil spring construction inside the seat.

Place this accent seating piece in a hallway, bedroom corner, or modern living space to introduce historical pattern, texture, and visual interest alongside contemporary furnishings.

Gently vacuum the fabric using a soft brush attachment, keep the upholstery away from direct sunlight to avoid fading, and nourish the exposed timber frame using natural beeswax.
