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.

Chippendale settees from the mid-to-late 18th century are defined by elaborate carved fretwork, pierced back splats, serpentine crest rails, and cabriole legs often terminating in claw-and-ball feet. They frequently adapt the visual design of dining chairs into double or triple chair-back configurations.

Dense, dark timbers such as Cuban mahogany were predominantly favoured for structural strength and intricate carving. Joinery relied on traditional mortise and tenon joints, while seats were upholstered in silk damask, needlepoint, or wool fabrics over horsehair padding.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved details with minor human irregularities, deep natural patina, and hand-sawn construction marks under the seat frame. Inspecting timber oxidisation, hand-forged steel screws, and original corner blocks beneath the seat rail helps verify age.

Position the settee in an entryway, bay window, or beneath artwork in a living space to serve as a focal anchor. Pairing the historic mahogany frame with contemporary accent lighting or neutral wall finishes highlights its architectural silhouette.

Keep the settee away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood movement and fabric fading. Apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain the timber patina, and dust delicately using a soft, dry cloth.
