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

Georgian mahogany armchairs typically feature balanced proportions, carved pierced splats, serpentine crest rails, and sturdy stretcher bases common in 18th-century English furniture design.

Craftsmen primarily utilised dense imported mahogany timber, joinery secured with mortise and tenon joints, and horsehair padding beneath woven textile upholstery.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut joinery, subtle irregularities on unexposed timber surfaces, genuine age patination on the mahogany, and original corner blocks beneath the seat frame.

Position the chair singly as an accent piece beside a contemporary side table or pair it with a writing desk to create a focal point combining historic craftsmanship with modern lines.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically, position the piece away from direct heat sources or sunlight, and gently vacuum the upholstery with a soft brush attachment.
