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

Tub chairs, often referred to as barrel chairs or fauteuils en encoignure, gained widespread popularity in 19th-century France. Designed with a continuous curved backrest that seamlessly transitions into the armrests, these compact armchairs were created for intimate conversation parlours and dressing rooms.

Authentic French tub chairs were constructed using solid hardwood frames, such as walnut, beech, or fruitwood. Internal upholstery traditionally comprised hand-tied steel coil springs, natural jute webbing, horsehair, and cotton padding.

Look for hand-turned solid walnut legs, original brass castors, and hand-stitched channelled upholstery framing. Traditional joinery techniques, such as mortise and tenon joints under the seat frame, also indicate period construction.

Place a pair of tub chairs opposite a minimalist sofa to create a balanced conversation area, or position them in a bedroom corner beside a side table. Their low profile and curved silhouette allow them to fit into compact spaces without obstructing sightlines.

Clean fabric upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner. Treat exposed walnut woodwork with natural beeswax polish once or twice a year, and keep the chairs away from direct heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage.
