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 19th-century tub chair is characterised by its curved backrest that seamlessly merges into the armrests, creating a continuous semi-circular profile. Popularised during the Victorian era, these low-slung armchairs were frequently used in private sitting rooms and bedrooms.

These chairs typically feature a solid hardwood internal frame, often oak or beech, traditional coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and jute webbing. The visible wooden legs were frequently carved from walnut, mahogany, or decorated with gilded finishes, set on metal castors.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-carved timber details, traditional upholstery methods including hand-tied springs and tack lines, and original brass or iron castors. Inspecting the underside reveals hand-stitched webbing and natural stuffing materials rather than synthetic foam.

Incorporating a 19th-century tub chair provides a soft silhouette that contrasts well against clean contemporary lines. Reupholstered in textured neutral fabrics or retained in a deconstructed calico state, it serves as a subtle focal point in living areas, bedrooms, or reading nooks.

Keep the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping and fabric degradation. Vacuum upholstery gently with a soft brush attachment and clean carved timber or gilded legs using a dry microfibre cloth without harsh chemicals.
