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 18th century, barrel back armchairs were designed with a continuous curved backrest to envelop the sitter and draught-proof the seating area near open fireplaces.

Period armchairs were built with solid hardwood frames, typically oak or beech, stuffed with natural materials such as horsehair, and finished with brass castors and woven textile or velvet upholstery.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved joinery, mortise and tenon frame construction, authentic age-related wear on timber legs, and original brass cup castors with square-tapered or turned legs.

A barrel back armchair functions as a focal accent piece in a living room, study, or bedroom, pairing effectively alongside contemporary lighting and neutral upholstery to create visual contrast.

Gently vacuum velvet fabric using a soft brush attachment to remove dust, address spills immediately with a dry cloth without rubbing, and keep timber legs hydrated with clear beeswax polish.
