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

Corner chairs, also known as roundabout chairs, emerged in the early 18th century during the Queen Anne and Georgian periods. Designed specifically to sit diagonally in the corner of a room or beside a writing desk, their unique shape allowed sitters wearing formal coats or swords to sit comfortably without obstruction.

During the George III era, solid mahogany was the primary timber used due to its durability, rich grain, and suitability for detailed carving. Seats were commonly upholstered in leather, needlework, or horsehair fabric, held within a drop-in frame.

Authentic 18th-century pieces typically display hand-cut joinery, such as mortise and tenon joints, along with natural shrinkage marks on the wooden components. Key design features include cabriole or square tapered legs, shell or acanthus carvings, turned stretchers, and pierced vasiform splats.

An antique corner chair works effectively as an accent piece in a quiet study, library nook, or home office alongside a traditional desk. Its compact footprint also makes it suitable for tight entryway corners or bedrooms where space is limited.

Keep mahogany furniture away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage and bleaching. Clean wood surfaces with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the original patination.
