Archival Detail
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.

A barrel back wing chair combines a rounded, curved backrest silhouette with side wings designed historically to enclose the sitter and trap heat from a nearby fireplace.

Pieces from this period usually feature solid hardwood internal frames, hand-tied coil springs, jute webbing, woven upholstery fabrics like tapestry or damask, and carved timber legs.

Authentic period examples display traditional frame joinery, carved cabriole or turned front legs, hand-applied studwork, and characteristic weight consistent with dense hardwood construction.

Position the chair in a quiet corner paired with a modern floor lamp and a simple side table to balance the detailed floral pattern against contemporary lines.

Vacuum the fabric gently using a soft brush attachment, position the piece away from direct sunlight to avoid colour fading, and clean timber legs with a suitable wood polish.
