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.

A 19th-century tub chair is characterised by a continuous curved backrest that wraps around to form the armrests, creating a semi-circular silhouette. Popularised during the Victorian era, these armchairs were designed to provide comfortable, enclosed seating for drawing rooms and private libraries.

Traditional construction involved solid timber frames, frequently crafted from mahogany, walnut, or oak. The internal upholstery relied on hand-tied steel coil springs, natural jute webbing, and fillings such as horsehair and coconut fibre, supported by turned or tapered wood legs on brass castors.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved timber components, original brass or iron castors attached with screws rather than modern clips, and traditional joinery like mortise and tenon joints beneath the upholstery. Examining the underside often reveals natural hessian and hand-stitched webbing.

A patterned tub chair can serve as a focal point in a neutral room scheme when placed in a reading corner or alongside a modern sofa. Pairing period seating with contemporary floor lamps or minimalist side tables creates a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Dust upholstery regularly using a low-suction vacuum with a soft brush attachment. Keep the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent textile fading and timber shrinkage, and treat exposed wood legs with beeswax occasionally.
