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 Georgian barrel back armchair is an 18th-century seat characterised by a curved, semi-circular backrest designed to retain warmth and shield the sitter from draughts near open fires.

These armchairs were typically constructed with solid timber frames made of oak or beech, featuring exposed mahogany or walnut legs, stuffed with natural horsehair and wool, and trimmed with brass upholstery studs.

Authentic Georgian armchairs feature hand-carved wooden joinery, splayed rear legs, heavy timber framing, and evidence of hand-cut brass tacks or traditional webbing construction.

Place the armchair as a focal point alongside a contemporary fireplace or within a reading corner, balancing its rich tone and structured profile against neutral walls and minimalist side tables.

Gently vacuum the velvet using a soft brush attachment to remove dust, keep the chair out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and apply beeswax to the wooden legs periodically.
