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 armchairs are characterised by their deep, comfortable sprung seats, low profiles, swept arms, and often feature exposed turned legs with brass castors.

These chairs typically feature a sturdy beech or mahogany frame, traditional coil spring construction, horsehair stuffing, hessian webbing, and are finished with heavy cotton or linen upholstery.

Authentic pieces often show traditional hand-stitched internal webbing, traditional stuffing materials like horsehair, and makers marks or stamped brass castors where applicable.

Pair the traditional silhouette with contemporary lighting and minimalist surrounding decor to create a balanced, layered aesthetic that highlights the classic lines.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently using a soft brush attachment, and have the internal suspension professionally assessed if sagging occurs.
