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

Originating in the 19th century, nursing chairs were low-seated armchairs designed specifically for mothers to comfortably feed infants while wearing heavy Victorian garments. They featured short turned legs, low seat heights, and padded backs without armrests to accommodate wide skirts.

These chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, constructed with hand-tied coil springs, horsehair padding, and steel or brass castors. Deep buttoning was achieved using traditional upholstery techniques to secure tension across the stuffed backrest.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit hand-turned wooden front legs with original brass or ceramic castors, alongside splayed rear legs. Inspecting the underside often reveals traditional webbed construction, hand-knotted springs, and evidence of hand-carved joinery within the solid timber frame.

A low-profile button-back chair works effectively in a bedroom corner, dressing room, or adjacent to a fireplace in a living area. Reupholstering the piece in a contemporary linen, boucle, or bold velvet bridges the gap between historical craftsmanship and modern aesthetics.

Clean wooden legs with a soft cloth and apply beeswax periodically to preserve the patina and nourish the timber. Brass castors should be kept clear of floor debris and lubricated lightly with mineral oil if stiff, while avoiding harsh chemicals that strip original oxidisation.
