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 typically feature curved backrests, central splats, and sweeping arms crafted from figured burr elm veneer, designed for executive or library settings during the late Victorian era.

Craftsmen used burr elm wood veneers over solid hardwood frames, paired with upholstered leather seating fixed with brass studwork, along with brass sabots or castors on tapered legs.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural variations in the dense burl wood grain, hand-cut joinery such as mortise-and-tenon joints, aged brass fittings, and natural wear on the original leather surface.

Position the chair at a sleek minimalist writing desk, integrate it into a contemporary study alongside built-in shelving, or use it as an accent piece in a modern reading nook.

Apply natural beeswax polish along the grain to protect the veneer without causing build-up, feed the leather seat with a dedicated conditioner, and keep the piece away from direct heat sources.
