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 French wing armchair, historically termed a fauteuil a oreilles, is defined by its high backrest flanked by raised wings designed to protect the occupant from draughts. These chairs feature timber frames, often carved in Louis XV or Louis XVI style, combined with upholstered seats and armrests.

Frames were typically carved from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, occasionally finished with gilding or paint. Internal upholstery traditionally incorporated horsehair, jute webbing, coil springs, and cotton padding covered in silk, velvet, or woven damask fabrics.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved joinery, traditional mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved details like fluted legs or rosette corner blocks, and evidence of original webbed upholstery construction rather than modern synthetic materials.

Positioning a structured wing armchair alongside a minimalist side table creates a tailored reading nook. Pairing historic carved timber profiles against neutral walls or contemporary artwork allows the intricate silhouette of the piece to serve as a focal point.

Timber elements should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and polished with natural beeswax. Textile upholstery requires gentle vacuuming with a brush attachment and prompt spot cleaning using specialized fabric cleaners to prevent staining.
