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.

Mid 18th-century Georgian open armchairs, often influenced by Chippendale and Queen Anne designs, typically feature exposed mahogany frames, serpentine arm supports, and cabriole legs. These seating pieces prioritised both comfort and formal elegance, featuring open sides and upholstered frames.

Cabinetmakers utilised dense mahogany for the exposed woodwork due to its structural durability and fine grain. Internal frame construction relied on native hardwoods such as beech, combined with horsehair padding and woven silk or wool damask upholstery.

Authentic period armchairs feature hand-carved mahogany components, slight irregularities from hand-plane marks, and original mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs. The underside of the frame often reveals natural wood patination and historical upholstery tacking patterns.

A Georgian open armchair functions effectively as a focal accent piece alongside contemporary minimalist sofas or placed near a reading area. Combining historic carved woodwork with modern architectural lighting creates balanced visual interest.

Maintain the timber frame by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying natural beeswax sparingly to preserve the surface finish. Position the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to protect the fabric weave and prevent timber shrinkage.
