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

Originating in the 19th century, balloon back armchairs are characterised by their rounded, contoured backrest frames resembling an inflated balloon shape. They were widely produced in French and Victorian furniture design, often upholstered in leather or fine textiles.

These armchairs are constructed with solid timber frames, predominantly walnut, mahogany, or oak, combined with hide leather upholstery. Structural details frequently include brass studding, hand-turned elements, and brass wheel castors.

Authentic period armchairs feature hand-carved frame joinery, original brass upholstery tacks, and natural patination across the timber and leather surfaces. Frame proportions and timber graining also assist in verifying historical authenticity.

Place the armchair alongside a minimalist side table in a contemporary study or reading corner to establish a focused seating area. The contrast between warm walnut, aged leather, and clean modern architectural lines adds depth to the space.

Position the piece away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent leather desiccation and wood cracking. Apply a dedicated leather conditioner periodically and treat the walnut frame with natural beeswax to maintain its luster.
