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

A bergere en corbeille or tub chair is an armchair featuring an enclosed, curved backrest that sweeps seamlessly around into the armrests. Originating in 18th-century France during the Louis XV period, these chairs were designed for casual seating and comfort in private salons.

Traditional pieces feature hand-carved hardwood frames, such as beech or oak, decorated with floral or rocaille crestings. The seat, backrest, and sides are woven with natural split rattan cane, often accompanied by a loose fitted seat cushion.

Authentic period or faithful reproduction pieces feature hand-carved frame details, exposed joint pegging, cabriole legs ending in scroll feet, and layered painted or gilded surface finishes. Hand-woven cane displays minor natural variations in texture compared to modern synthetic mesh.

This curved armchair functions effectively as an accent piece in a bedroom corner, dressing area, or sitting room layout. Combining the painted timber and natural cane texture with modern textiles creates a balanced contrast between historical and contemporary elements.

Position caned seating away from direct heat sources and prolonged sunlight to prevent the natural rattan from drying and becoming brittle. Lightly moistening the underside of the cane weave once or twice a year helps maintain its inherent elasticity.
