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

A Victorian desk chair typically features solid hardwood construction, ergonomic spindle-back detailing, and iron revolving or swivel mechanisms introduced during 19th-century office expansions.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods like mahogany, oak, or walnut, often incorporating cast iron swivel mechanisms and steel or brass castors.

Look for cast iron revolving mechanisms beneath the seat, hand-turned timber spindles, splayed legs with integrated castors, and natural wear along the armrests.

Pair a traditional wooden desk chair with a contemporary writing table or modern glass desk to create a balanced, eclectic home office.

Apply a high-grade beeswax polish regularly to preserve the wood finish, and occasionally apply lubricant to the metal swivel mechanism to ensure smooth movement.
