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

Howard and Sons sofas are 19th-century English upholstered seating pieces known for their deep seats, feather-filled cushions, sprung frames, and short timber legs fitted with brass castors.

These sofas traditionally feature beech wood internal frames, steel coil springs, natural horsehair padding, feather and down cushions, brass castors, and wool or velvet upholstery.

Authentic pieces usually carry a makers stamp on the inner rear leg, stamped brass castors reading Howard & Sons London, or original branded ticking fabric under the upholstery.

A green velvet Victorian sofa works well as a focal point set against neutral walls, paired with contemporary minimalist lighting and sleek side tables to create visual contrast.

Velvet should be brushed regularly with a soft upholstery brush and vacuumed on low suction, while exposed timber legs should be kept dry and treated periodically with natural beeswax.
