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

A 19th-century Gillows armchair is characterised by high-grade cabinet craftsmanship, deep upholstery, finely turned timber legs, and brass castors, serving as a staple of Victorian library and drawing room seating.

These armchairs were built using solid hardwood frames such as mahogany or walnut, stuffed with coil springs and horsehair, and finished with brass castors alongside velvet or woven textile upholstery.

Authentic armchairs frequently display stamped maker marks or serial numbers on the legs or castors, hand-stitched internal padding, original brass hardware, and detailed timber turning.

Position the armchair in a reading corner, study, or living room alongside contemporary lighting and neutral walls to allow the timber craftsmanship and structured silhouette to stand out.

Gently vacuum velvet upholstery using a soft brush attachment, treat exposed timber with natural beeswax polish, and position the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric discolouration.
