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.

Howard and Sons armchairs are renowned for their ergonomic design, deep seats, coil-spring upholstery, and high manufacturing standards during the nineteenth century. They typically feature turned wooden legs, brass castors, and precise proportions tailored for informal lounging.

Seating from this era was constructed using solid hardwood frames, steel coil springs, hand-tied twine, natural horsehair padding, hessian webbing, and calico under-upholstery.

Authentic pieces often feature maker stamps or impressions on the rear wooden legs, named brass castors, or original printed ticking fabric bearing the company address.

An armchair in calico or under-upholstery allows for complete customisation with contemporary or period-accurate textiles. Positioned near a hearth or reading area, it offers a structural focal point alongside modern furnishings.

Keep the timber frame dry and away from direct heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage. Ensure any reupholstery utilises traditional techniques to preserve the original spring system and frame integrity.
