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.

Carver chairs from the late Georgian and William IV eras feature open arms, curved arm supports, and decorated back splats designed for use at the head of a dining table. They typically incorporate dense mahogany timber, mortise and tenon joinery, and structural stretchers for stability.

Primary construction utilized solid Cuban or West Indian mahogany for structural framework and carved decorative elements. Secondary timbers such as pine or beech were often used for internal seat frames, finished with traditional horsehair padding and woven upholstery.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved splats showing minor irregularities, and natural shrinkage across wider wooden components. Look for genuine oxidisation on the underside of the frames and original corner blocks within the seat frame.

A pair of antique open armchairs can serve as accent seating on either side of a console table, as flanking desk chairs, or at the ends of a modern minimalist dining table to introduce historical contrast and texture.

Clean timber surfaces with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the patina. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage and timber splitting.
