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

The Howard style originated in the 19th century, championed by the renowned firm Howard & Sons, known for low-seated, deeply sprung, exceptionally comfortable lounge chairs with distinctively shaped arms and turned timber legs on castors.

Authentic pieces feature a sturdy beech frame, traditional hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, layered wadding, and heavy cotton or ticking upholstery finished with brass-tack detailing.

Look for hallmarks such as stamped brass castors, serial numbers stamped on the legs or frame, tightly woven webbing, and traditional hand-stitched edge rolls indicating quality Victorian craftsmanship.

Pair the piece with contemporary minimalist furniture to create a striking contrast, or anchor it within a traditional country house scheme using textured throws and neutral walls to let the striped upholstery stand out.

Vacuum regularly with a soft brush attachment to remove dust, keep out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and consult a professional textile conservator for deep cleaning.
