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

These chairs originate from mainland Europe during the 19th century, drawing heavy influence from classical French designs such as Louis XVI and Neoclassical styles. They feature intricate hand-carved wooden frames finished with gold leaf, typically paired with neutral fabric upholstery.

Craftsmen constructed the frames using hardwood, such as beech or walnut, which was coated with gesso, carved, and layered with thin gold leaf. Traditional joinery techniques, including mortise and tenon joints, provided structural integrity beneath the decorative gilding.

Authentic period examples exhibit natural wear to the gilded layer, often revealing reddish or grey bole or white gesso beneath. Inspecting the underside reveals hand-carved tool marks, peg construction, and age-consistent oxidisation of the timber.

Pairing formal gilded chairs with modern, minimalist desks or placing them as accent seating in a hallway creates visual contrast. Re-upholstering the seats in crisp linen or textured fabric bridges the gap between historical craft and contemporary aesthetic sensibilities.

Dust gilt surfaces gently using a soft, dry feather duster or soft brush, avoiding water or chemical sprays which dissolve gesso and damage leafing. Maintain stable humidity levels to prevent timber movement and cracking along frame joinery.
