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

Originating in the mid-19th century, balloon back chairs feature a rounded, continuous curved backrest resembling an inflated balloon. They were widely produced during the Victorian era, typically crafted from dark hardwoods such as rosewood or mahogany, and paired with upholstered seats and shaped legs.

Victorian furniture makers utilised rich hardwoods including rosewood, mahogany, and walnut. Construction involved mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved decorative motifs, traditional horsehair stuffing, steel coil springs, and woven upholstery fabrics such as damask or velvet.

Authentic period chairs exhibit natural age-related patination, uneven hand-carved details, and genuine rosewood grain featuring dark brown and black streaking. Examination of the underside often reveals original wood jointing, hand-cut screws, and signs of historic upholstery work.

Antique balloon back chairs can be mixed with contemporary dining tables, such as marble or minimalist wood designs, to create an eclectic aesthetic. Neutral upholstered seats allow period rosewood frames to blend easily with modern colour palettes.

Keep timber frames away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage and timber bleaching. Clean timber surfaces with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish periodically along the grain; treat upholstered seats with gentle fabric cleaners.
