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 Howard style armchair is characterised by its deep seat, low reclined profile, padded armrests with recessed wooden supports, and turned front legs on castors. Popularised during the nineteenth century by Howard & Sons, this design prioritised comfort and lounging within country house interiors.

Traditional pieces feature hardwood framing, usually oak or beech, constructed with coil springs, horsehair, and hessian layering. Legs were turned from mahogany or walnut and fitted with stamped brass castors.

Authentic Howard & Sons armchairs frequently feature stamped makers marks or serial numbers on the rear legs or castors, along with branded ticking fabric under upholstery layers. Unmarked examples in this distinct silhouette are categorised as being in the Howard style.

This type of seating pairs effectively with neutral backdrops, such as minimalist or classic panelled walls, serving as a focal point. Position it alongside a contemporary side table or standing lamp to balance period craftsmanship with modern elements.

Vacuum upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust accumulation within button tufting and woven fibers. Protect timber legs from direct sunlight and polish turning details occasionally with natural beeswax.
