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.

Regency library chairs typically feature neoclassical design elements, including lyre-shaped scrolled arms, turned or saber legs, and brass castors for ease of movement within a study or library.

Frames were primarily constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, filled with natural horsehair padding, and finished with brass castors and velvet or leather upholstery secured by brass tacks.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved joinery, original brass castors with period screw fixings, classical proportions, and natural age-related wear on timber frames and leg joints.

Place the chair in a reading corner beside a contemporary floor lamp or side table to serve as a focal point that contrasts classical framework with modern living spaces.

Gently vacuum velvet fabric using a soft brush attachment, position the chair away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and apply natural beeswax polish to the timber legs periodically.
