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 Victorian tub chair features a continuous curved backrest that wraps around to form the arms, often incorporating deep button tufting and a low seat height designed for informal seating during the nineteenth century.

These chairs were constructed using solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, filled with natural horsehair and coil springs, and finished with brass castors.

Authentic period tub chairs feature hand-carved hardwood legs, traditional hand-tied coil springs, horsehair upholstery stuffing, and original brass or iron castor wheels attached to the front legs.

Position the chair in a bedroom, dressing room, or quiet corner alongside a contemporary side table and minimalist floor lamp to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Keep the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, vacuum the upholstery gently with a soft brush attachment, and nourish timber legs using natural beeswax.
