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.
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.
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.

Howard and Sons armchairs are renowned for low-slung profiles, deep seats, and exceptional construction, originating in 19th-century London. Open arm variations feature padded armrests supported by turned wooden uprights, offering a lighter visual profile than fully upholstered tub chairs.

Traditional 19th-century armchairs feature solid hardwood frames, typically walnut, mahogany, or beech, fitted with coil springs, natural hair filling, and brass castors. High-end examples incorporate woven cotton prints, velours, or Arts and Crafts botanical textiles.

Authentic Howard and Sons pieces frequently feature stamped maker marks or serial numbers on the inside of the rear legs or stamped onto the brass castors. Additionally, original internal upholstery from the maker often incorporates printed ticking fabric bearing the company name.

Position the chair in a quiet reading corner or alongside contemporary clean-lined sofas to create a balanced contrast between historic pattern and modern minimalist forms. Paired with neutral walls, traditional botanical textiles serve as a distinctive focal point.

Vacuum upholstery regularly on a low suction setting using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust build-up within the weave. Position the seating away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and polish exposed wooden legs with natural beeswax.
