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 Chesterfield sofa is traditionally defined by its deep buttoned upholstery, rolled arms set at the same height as the backrest, and hand-tacked studding details along the front facings.

Early 20th-century Chesterfield sofas typically feature full-grain leather upholstery over a hardwood frame, with steel coil springs and natural fills such as horsehair or wool fibre.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural leather patination, hand-stitched seams, individually hand-driven metal studs, and internal coil spring construction rather than modern synthetic webbing.

A brown leather Chesterfield serves as a focal anchor piece, contrasting well against neutral plaster walls, textured wool rugs, and contemporary metal or timber accent furniture.

Keep leather upholstery away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying, and apply a specialised leather balsam or conditioner annually to preserve suppleness.
