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

These armchairs are defined by dark ebonised wooden frames, often detailed with reeded or turned craftsmanship, alongside light-coloured woven cane seats and backrests. The design blends European structural forms with ventilated materials adapted for tropical and colonial climates.

Frames were typically crafted from hardwoods such as ebony, rosewood, or stained beech and mahogany to achieve the ebonised finish. The seat and back inserts were woven from natural rattan cane, and front legs were frequently fitted with brass castors.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved reeding or turning, period-correct joinery, and natural wear to the ebonised finish where the lighter wood underneath shows through. Original cane work displays hand-threaded split rattan tied through hand-drilled frame holes.

The dark frame creates a strong silhouette that contrasts well against neutral or light-toned walls. Placing the armchair in a sunroom, library, or living area alongside contemporary textiles balances structural formality with woven texture.

Keep the armchair away from direct heat sources to prevent the cane from drying out and snapping. Maintain the ebonised frame by dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and applying beeswax sparingly, avoiding harsh chemical sprays.
