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

Originating in the mid-to-late 19th century, a balloon back armchair features a distinct rounded backframe shaped like an oval or balloon, frequently combined with carved timber cresting and padded armrests.

Victorian balloon back chairs were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, paired with fabric upholstery and fitted with brass or ceramic castors.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved cresting motifs, traditional joinery, original ceramic or brass castor fittings, and proportional turned front legs.

A pair of carved armchairs can serve as accent seating in a living room setting, flank an entryway table, or sit at the foot of a bed to introduce historical structure to contemporary spaces.

Woodwork should be dusted with a microfibre cloth and treated periodically with natural beeswax, while velvet upholstery requires gentle vacuuming using a soft brush attachment.
