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

During the early 19th century, British furniture design transitioned from classic Regency restraint to the bolder proportions of the William IV era. Armchairs from this period typically feature dense timber frames, carved scroll arms, curved backrests, and turned or reeded legs.

Cabinetmakers primarily used solid hardwoods such as rosewood and mahogany, often set on brass castors. Upholstery utilized natural horsehair padding and steel springs, finished in wool velvet or hand-worked needlepoint tapestry.

Authentic pieces demonstrate hand-carved frame joinery, original brass castors with period screw threadings, and natural timber oxidisation. Stamps or serial numbers stamped into the rear leg or seat rail can indicate makers such as Gillows of Lancaster.

A carved rosewood armchair serves as an effective accent piece in a quiet reading corner or alongside contemporary minimalist sofas. Pairing dark timber and rich embroidery with neutral wall tones helps highlight historical craftsmanship.

Maintain timber frames by applying a clear beeswax polish periodically and placing the chair away from direct heat sources. Gently vacuum needlework using a soft brush attachment and position textiles away from direct sunlight to minimise fading.
