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

Popularised during the nineteenth century, Victorian library armchairs feature deep buttoned upholstery, broad padded seats, and sturdy timber frames designed for extended periods of reading.

These chairs typically incorporate solid timber frames such as mahogany or walnut, natural horsehair filling, brass castors, and heavy textile upholstery including velvet or leather.

Authentic examples often display hand-turned front legs, stamped brass castors, hand-tied coil spring construction, and deep button-tufted upholstery work across the backrest.

Position the armchair alongside a minimalist side table, modern task lighting, or a structured bookcase to balance historical proportion with contemporary lines.

Vacuum the velvet regularly using a soft brush attachment, position the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, and nourish the timber legs with natural beeswax.
