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

Howard and Sons were renowned 19th-century London cabinetmakers famous for producing exceptionally comfortable armchairs featuring coil-sprung seats, down cushions, and high-grade hardwood frames.

Victorian button-back armchairs typically feature solid beech or mahogany frames, coil springs, horsehair filling, natural calico or decorative fabric, and brass castors.

Authentic pieces often feature maker stamps or stencils on the rear wooden legs, stamped brass castors bearing the maker name, or monogrammed fabric under-upholstery.

Position the chair alongside contemporary lighting and sleek side tables to create a visual balance between classic 19th-century form and modern functional aesthetics.

Gently vacuum fabric surfaces using a soft brush attachment, avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent material degradation, and apply natural beeswax to polished timber legs.
