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.

French Renaissance Revival seating, prominent in the mid-to-late 19th century, draws architectural inspiration from 16th-century designs. Key features include dark hardwood frames, turned or spiralled legs, relief carvings of mythical or classical figures such as putti and cherubs, and structured upholstery.

Frame construction from this period typically incorporates dense hardwoods such as walnut, oak, or mahogany to facilitate intricate hand carving. Upholstery relies on natural hide leather or heavy velvet, secured to the frame with brass studding, webbing, and horsehair padding.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display hand-carved joinery details, natural frame wear around armrests and stretchers, and brass castors affixed to turned feet. Original leather features age-consistent patination, hand-stitched seams, and individual brass tacking along the borders.

Richly coloured leather armchairs add sculptural weight to contemporary living rooms, studies, or libraries. Positioning a pair alongside minimalist modern tables or beneath muted artwork creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Leather requires periodic treatment with a specialist wax or conditioner to preserve flexibility and prevent cracking. Carved wooden frames should be dusted with a dry, soft cloth and polished occasionally with beeswax, keeping the item away from direct heat sources.
