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

George III armchairs, produced between 1760 and 1820, are noted for their classical proportions, high-quality timber construction, and detailed fretwork or pierced back splats influenced by Chippendale and Hepplewhite designs.

Dense Cuban and West Indian mahogany were the primary choice for framing due to their rich grain, while seats were upholstered in horsehair, silk, or wool fabrics and secured over oak or pine internal frames.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved decorative motifs, original brass barrel castors, and natural age oxidisation on untreated timber undersides.

These structured wooden armchairs serve well as standalone accent seating in a study, paired with contemporary desks, or placed in a hallway to introduce rich wood tones against neutral walls.

Apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually to preserve the patination, keep the wood clear of direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage, and dust regularly with a clean lint-free cloth.
