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.

Victorian easy armchairs from the 19th century were designed primarily for comfort, featuring deep seats, generously padded scroll arms, and reclining backs. They often incorporate solid hardwood frames, steel coil springs, and turned timber front legs ending in brass castors.

These armchairs were built around frames of dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or beech. Internal upholstery traditionally comprised coil springs lashed with jute webbing, layered with natural horsehair and cotton padding, and covered in durable woven textiles.

Authentic pieces feature traditional joinery, such as hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, along with hand-turned timber legs. Original brass castors, heavy iron coiled springs within the seat base, and evidence of hand-tacked webbing further indicate period manufacture.

A Victorian armchair can serve as a focal point when placed alongside contemporary minimalist sofas or set within a quiet library corner. Striped or patterned upholstery allows the piece to introduce texture and accent colour to neutral spaces.

Upholstery should be gently vacuumed using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust build-up. Solid timber legs benefit from occasional application of clear beeswax, while brass castors should be kept clean and clear of debris to ensure smooth movement.
