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.

FAQs

Howard and Sons pieces are characterised by superior craftsmanship, deep sprung construction, and understated elegance, often featuring signature branded castors and stamped legs.

Authentic pieces typically utilise solid beech frames, hand-tied steel coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and traditional hessian webbing to ensure durability and comfort.

Verification involves checking for maker stamps on the legs or brass castors, serial numbers stamped on the frame, and examining the traditional inner stuffing and webbing.

Pairing a traditional patterned settee with minimalist modern architecture and neutral walls creates a balanced, layered aesthetic that highlights the heritage piece.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment, and engage professional conservators for deep cleaning.
