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.
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.

Victorian button-back armchairs are defined by deep tufting across the backrest, low profile seating, and curved or scroll arms. Typically built with solid timber frames such as mahogany or walnut, these armchairs incorporate coil springs and hand-turned front legs fitted with brass castors.

Framing was predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods like mahogany, walnut, or rosewood. Interior upholstery traditionally utilised coil springs, horsehair, and hessian padding, finished in plush fabrics such as velvet, silk damask, or heavy wool upholstery.

Authentic period armchairs feature hand-turned wooden legs, hand-tied steel coil springs within the seat construction, and original brass or ceramic castors. Inspecting the underside reveals traditional webbing, horsehair filling, and hand-tacked upholstery fastening.

Position the armchair alongside modern side tables and clean-lined lighting to create balanced contrast. Neutral velvet upholstery pairs effectively with contemporary natural textiles, minimalist rugs, and artwork in traditional living rooms or bedrooms.

Vacuum the fabric gently using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust build-up within the deep buttoning. Clean spills immediately with a dry cloth, nourish exposed timber legs with beeswax polish, and avoid placement in direct sunlight to protect fabric colour.
