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

Named after cabinetmaker George Hepplewhite, these chairs feature Neo-Classical proportions, openwork carved backrests often in shield or heart shapes, and slender tapered legs.

Dense dark hardwoods such as mahogany or satinwood were predominantly used for the frame, paired with drop-in or stuff-over seats upholstered in leather, horsehair, or woven fabric.

Look for characteristic shield-back or wheat-sheaf carved back splats, straight tapered or spade legs, hand-carved detailing, and mortise-and-tenon frame joinery.

Pair dark mahogany chairs with a minimalist light oak or glass dining table to create visual contrast, balancing historical craftsmanship with modern structural lines.

Dust the wooden frames regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply beeswax sparingly to preserve the wood patina, and treat the leather with dedicated leather balm to prevent drying.
