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.

Howard style armchairs are characterised by deep seating, padded button-backed upholstery, low-slung profiles, and turned legs often set on castors, popularised by Howard and Sons in the nineteenth century.

These chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames such as mahogany or beech, coil-sprung seating with horsehair padding, dyed leather upholstery, brass studding, and cast metal or ceramic castors.

Authentic pieces often feature stamped rear legs or castors bearing manufacturer marks, hand-tufted leather or ticking fabric, deep coil springs, and traditional mortise and tenon joinery.

Position the armchair alongside a minimalist side table and modern floor lamp to create a balanced reading corner, or pair it with natural timber elements in a classic study setting.

Keep the leather away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply specialised leather conditioner periodically to preserve flexibility.
