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

A conversation seat, also known as a tete-a-tete or vis-a-vis, is a Victorian or Edwardian two-seater chair designed in an S-shape to allow two individuals to sit facing opposite directions while conversing.

Traditional pieces feature solid hardwood frames such as walnut, mahogany, or oak, constructed with turned spindles, carved aprons, and upholstered seats in damask, silk, or velvet.

Authentic Victorian examples display hand-turned spindles, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, hand-tied spring upholstery, and age-consistent wear to the timber finish near handrests and feet.

A conversation seat serves as a distinctive focal element in a large entrance hall, drawing room, or open-plan living space, functioning well where central 360-degree viewing access is available.

Maintain the upholstery by vacuuming gently with a soft brush attachment, positioning the frame away from direct heat sources to avoid wood shrinkage, and applying natural beeswax to exposed timber.
