Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

A bergere is an upholstered armchair with an exposed timber frame, originating in 18th-century France and widely adapted during the 19th century for British library and study settings.

These chairs were typically constructed with solid mahogany frames, hand-woven cane panels, horsehair padding, and hand-stitched leather upholstery secured with brass studs.

Look for hand-carved detailing such as reeded leg supports, original brass castors, evidence of hand-caning behind cushions, and natural wear to original dark mahogany wood finishes.

Position the armchair alongside a minimalist side table or within a dedicated reading nook to create a striking contrast between historical character and clean modern lines.

Treat the leather regularly with specialised hide food, dust the caned panels gently with a soft brush, and wax the mahogany frame periodically while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources.
