Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.

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

Originating in eighteenth-century Britain, Georgian library armchairs were designed for study spaces, characterized by substantial hardwood frames, generous proportions, and high-quality upholstery such as hand-dyed hide.

These chairs typically feature solid mahogany or walnut frames, hide leather upholstery, deep buttoning with horsehair stuffing, hand-driven brass studs, and turned wooden legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved mahogany scrollwork, original brass castors, hand-cut mortise-and-tenon frame joinery, and natural hand-patinated leather displaying age-appropriate surface wear.

Position the armchair in a study, corner reading area, or alongside minimalist modern furniture to create a balanced contrast between classic period craftsmanship and contemporary design lines.

Keep the chair positioned away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent drying, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply specialist leather conditioner sparingly to maintain suppleness.
