Archival Detail
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.

Originating in late 18th-century England, Hepplewhite style armchairs are characterised by balanced proportions, oval or shield-shaped backs, and delicately carved splats often featuring wheat sheaf or Prince of Wales feather motifs.

These chairs were primarily crafted from solid mahogany, valued for its density and fine grain. Upholstery traditionally consisted of natural padding covered in silk damask, velvet, or needlework, secured with brass tacks or braid trim.

Look for signs of hand construction, such as hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, irregular saw marks on unpolished undersides, and natural patination on the timber. Authentic pieces also exhibit subtle hand-carving variations that lack modern machine precision.

Place a pair of carved armchairs on either side of a console table or incorporate them as carvers at the head and foot of a contemporary dining table to create visual contrast. Pairing dark mahogany wood with neutral backdrop walls highlights their silhouettes.

Dust the woodwork regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the timber finish. Protect the upholstered seats from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and spot-clean using specialised upholstery treatments.
