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 1830s during the reign of King William IV, slipper chairs bridge the transition from Regency elegance to heavier Victorian forms. They are armless, low-seated chairs originally created to assist ladies while dressing, featuring turned timber front legs and swept rear legs.

Frames were primarily crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut. Upholstery involved traditional methods using coiled steel springs, jute webbing, hair stuffing, and decorative outer textiles like woven tapestry, velvet, or damask.

Authentic pieces feature robust turned or carved front legs, often ending in original brass castors, alongside gently splayed or swept back legs. The scale tends to be substantial, with hand-carved details and hand-cut joinery visible on the underside of the seat frame.

A period slipper chair works well as a focal point in a master bedroom corner, a dressing area, or alongside a fireplace hearth. Its compact, armless design allows it to provide accent seating without visually crowding contemporary spaces.

Regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment prevents dust buildup on tapestry or velvet fabric. Timber legs should be treated with natural beeswax polish, and the chair should be positioned away from direct sunlight and radiators to protect against fabric fading and wood warping.
