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

Victorian balloon back chairs are characterised by an oval or rounded backrest frame reminiscent of a hot air balloon, a style popularised in mid-19th-century Britain. They typically feature carved crests, waist curtailments, and cabriole or turned legs.

Dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood were preferred for their durability and dark grain. Upholstery traditionally incorporated natural horsehair padding covered in silk damask, velvet, or woven wool textiles.

Authentic period examples display hand-carved joinery marks, irregular anatomical carving lines, natural patination in the wood grain, and original dowel or mortise-and-tenon construction beneath the frame.

Pairing a set of period balloon back chairs with a modern minimalist oak or marble dining table creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Apply natural beeswax polish annually to protect the timber and retain moisture, keeping frames away from direct heat sources. Upholstery should be vacuumed gently with a soft brush attachment and kept out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
