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

Victorian office furniture is characterised by robust construction, functional mechanisms, and the extensive use of dark hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, and walnut, reflecting the industrial expansion and administrative needs of the 19th century.

These pieces typically feature solid timber frames joined by mortise and tenon construction, combined with cast iron mechanical swivel and tilt assemblies, and upholstered seats finished with brass studs.

Authenticity is identified through period-appropriate hand-cut screws, cast iron mechanisms with patent markings, natural wear patterns on the timber, and traditional joinery rather than modern fixings.

Pairing the chair with a contemporary minimalist desk creates a striking juxtaposition, blending historical craftsmanship with modern functionality in a study or home office.

Maintain the timber by applying a microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the wood, and clean leather elements with a damp cloth followed by a suitable leather conditioner while avoiding direct sunlight.
