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.

A French open armchair, traditionally known as a fauteuil, features exposed wooden framing with open space beneath padded armrests. During the 19th century, craftsmen drew inspiration from classical Neoclassical and Louis XVI forms, incorporating fluted legs, carved details, and tailored upholstery.

These chairs were constructed from dense hardwoods such as walnut, beech, or mahogany. Internal upholstery traditionally utilised natural horsehair, webbing, and coil springs, covered in woven textiles like damask, velvet, or silk brocade.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-cut mortise-and-tenon joinery, pegged timber connections, and subtle variations in hand-carved detailing. Inspecting the underside reveals hand-planed timber, original metal castors, and historic upholstery construction.

A period armchair functions as a focal accent piece in a contemporary living room, study, or bedroom alcove. Pairing classical woodwork with minimalist side tables or modern lighting creates an engaging contrast between heritage design and modern elements.

Position the timber away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid drying and cracking. Wax the walnut frame periodically with a clear beeswax polish, and clean textile upholstery using a soft brush vacuum attachment.
