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

Balloon back dining chairs emerged during the Victorian era and feature a distinctive rounded backframe reminiscent of a hot air balloon. The design typically incorporates a carved horizontal mid-rail and shaped legs, offering both support and decorative elegance.

Victorian chairmakers predominantly utilised high-density hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, and walnut. Traditional joinery included mortise and tenon joints, with padding made from horsehair and webbed spring bases beneath fabric upholstery.

Authentic pieces display distinct wood grain patterning characteristic of rosewood, hand-carved decorative motifs, and evidence of historical hand-saw marks or period corner blocks beneath the seat frame.

Victorian chairs can be paired with modern minimalist dining tables to create a curated contrast. Modern textile re-upholstery in neutral tones or bold contemporary patterns allows classic wood frames to complement contemporary schemes.

Rosewood requires protection from direct sunlight and extreme humidity changes to prevent timber movement. Maintain the timber finish using a natural beeswax polish applied along the direction of the grain, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.
