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.

Armchairs from the 18th century, such as the French fauteuil, are defined by their open wooden arms, carved hardwood frames, curved cabriole or os de mouton legs, and hand-woven textile upholstery depicting classical or botanical themes.

Frames were typically carved from dense hardwoods such as walnut, oak, or beech, joined using traditional mortise and tenon joinery. Upholstery frequently featured hand-stitched wool or silk needlepoint and wool tapestry, secured with hand-cut brass tacks.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-carved wood frame irregularities, pegged joinery, and natural wear patterns on armrests. The needlepoint work will show hand-stitched variations and wool threads aged with natural fading on the face compared to the reverse.

Positioning a pair of period armchairs alongside simple, contemporary upholstered sofas creates a balanced contrast of texture and era. Their rich patterned textiles work well against neutral backdrops or integrated into classic library and living spaces.

Keep textile upholstery out of direct sunlight to minimise fading and fibre degradation. Vacuum gently using a soft brush attachment, treat wooden components with natural beeswax polish, and avoid humidity fluctuations that cause wood expansion.
