Archival Detail
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.

Originating in 18th-century England during the reign of King George II, this chair style combines dense mahogany timber and formal cabriole legs from urban cabinetmaking with the turned spindle back typical of regional seating.

Craftsmen employed hand-turned spindles, mortise and tenon joints, and hand-shaped mahogany components, often featuring cabriole front legs mortised directly into a solid carved seat board.

Authentic period pieces display evidence of hand-tooling, slight timber shrinkage along the grain, original hand-cut joinery, and natural surface wear on the underside and armrests.

Position the chair as a standalone accent piece alongside a minimalist contemporary side table, or pair it with a streamlined modern desk to create visual historical contrast.

Maintain the timber finish by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish annually, while keeping the item away from direct heat sources.
