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

Originating in the eighteenth century and becoming widely popular during the Victorian era, slipper chairs were low-slung, armless upholstered seats designed for bedrooms and dressing rooms. Their low height enabled ladies to sit comfortably while wearing corsets to put on stockings and footwear.

Nineteenth-century slipper chairs were built with solid hardwood internal frames, typically mahogany, walnut, or beech. The upholstery featured traditional coil springs, hand-tied webbing, and natural fillings such as horsehair and coir, supported on short turned legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic pieces from prominent makers like Gillows often feature stamped maker marks or serial numbers on the underside of the frame or back legs. High-quality construction indicators include stamped brass castors, precise button-tufting, hand-carved leg detailing, and solid hardwood framing.

A slipper chair functions as an accent piece placed in the corner of a bedroom, beside a dressing table, or within an expansive bathroom. Combining traditional patterned fabric upholstery with neutral contemporary backdrop walls creates a balanced visual contrast.

Vacuum upholstered fabric gently using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust accumulation. Spot-clean fabric using specialist upholstery cleaner after testing on an inconspicuous area, and periodically check brass castors to ensure smooth movement without scratching timber flooring.
