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.

Georgian mahogany armchairs are defined by classical proportions, solid construction, and detailed hand-carving. Features often include pierced back splats, curved armrests, and square or cabriole legs characteristic of 18th-century British cabinetmaking.

Primary framing was executed in imported West Indian or Cuban mahogany, valued for its density and deep grain. Secondary woods like pine or oak were used for seat frames, with upholstery traditionally finished in wool damask, silk, or leather held by brass studs.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, slight irregularities in hand-carved elements, and natural oxidation to the timber on the underside. Original seat rails often display historic tack marks from successive re-upholstery.

A single Georgian carver chair functions effectively as an accent piece at a modern desk or positioned in a reading corner. Combining historic dark wood seating with minimalist contemporary tables creates a balanced, layered interior aesthetic.

Maintain timber surfaces by applying high-quality beeswax paste once or twice a year, avoiding silicone-based polishes. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage, joint loosening, and fabric fading.
