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 was a prominent London cabinet-making firm founded in the nineteenth century, renowned for producing upholstered seating featuring sprung seats and down-filled cushions.

These sofas feature hardwood frames, coil-sprung seats, natural hair filling, feather-and-down cushions, stamped brass castors, and cotton lining or printed ticking.

Authentic pieces feature stamped maker markings on the rear wooden legs, branded stamps or logos on the brass castors, or printed pattern fabric ticking on the frame.

An antique sofa in neutral calico can serve as an understated centrepiece when paired with modern art, minimalist side tables, or textured linen throw cushions.

Regular gentle vacuuming using a soft brush attachment removes surface dust, while spot cleaning should be tested on an inconspicuous area to avoid watermark staining on natural fibres.
