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

Emerging in the early 19th century, Regency lyre-shaped sofas draw inspiration from classical Greco-Roman forms, featuring outwardly curved scroll arms reminiscent of the lyre musical instrument.

These sofas typically feature solid timber frames constructed from mahogany or rosewood, padded with horsehair and coil springs, and finished with turned legs set on brass castors.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved timber accents, traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, original brass castors, and lower seating profiles characteristic of early 1800s design.

Position the sofa as a focal statement piece in a contemporary living space, balancing its formal silhouette with minimalist modern lighting and neutral architectural backdrops.

Keep the sofa positioned away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping and fabric fading, whilst vacuuming the upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment.
