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.

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.

A Gainsborough armchair, originating in 18th-century Britain, is a wide-seated open armchair featuring a high upholstered backrest, padded armrests, and exposed carved timber arm supports and legs.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or walnut frames using traditional mortise and tenon joinery, upholstered with needlepoint tapestry, wool damask, or leather, and supported by H-stretchers.

Authentic period examples feature hand-carved mahogany frame members with straight or cabriole legs, hand-cut corner blocks, mortised stretchers, and natural oxidation along the underside timber frame.

Position the armchair as a focal accent piece alongside a contemporary side table in a reading nook, study, or living space to contrast historic textile work with modern structural lines.

Vacuum the fabric lightly using a soft brush attachment, position the chair away from direct light sources to reduce textile fading, and nourish the exposed mahogany elements with natural beeswax polish.
