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.

Carolean style refers to English decorative arts produced during the reign of King Charles II (16601685) and extending into the turn of the 18th century, characterised by woven cane panels, carved scrollwork, bulbous turned legs, and walnut construction.

These armchairs are typically constructed using solid walnut timber frames, woven cane for the back panels and seats, and occasional painted or ebonised dark surface finishes.

Period armchairs display hand-planed timbers, hand-woven cane inserts, mortise-and-tenon joinery fixed with wooden pegs, lathe-turned stretchers, and natural wear patterns along the armrests and feet.

Position the armchair as a singular accent piece in an entryway, library corner, or study, using its dark silhouette to contrast against neutral background walls and contemporary textiles.

Dust the wooden frame regularly with a soft cloth and apply clear beeswax sparingly, while lightly dampening the underside of the cane mesh occasionally to prevent the fibres from drying out.
