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

A triple chair-back settee is a wide seating furniture piece constructed with a backrest composed of three distinct, connected chair-back frames. Popularised in the 18th and 19th centuries, these pieces combine the structural appearance of individual side chairs with the function of a bench or sofa.

Craftspeople traditionally constructed these settees using solid walnut or walnut veneers prized for fine grain and rich figure. Seats were frequently upholstered in natural hide leather secured with brass studding, while hand-carved scrollwork formed the openwork backrest frame.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut joinery, such as mortise and tenon joints, along with irregular tool marks on unexposed wooden surfaces. Natural age patination, historic wear around the armrests, and original metal upholstery tacks also distinguish antique pieces from modern reproductions.

Position the settee in a spacious hallway or beneath a large mirror in a formal reception room to highlight its carved silhouette. Pairing dark walnut wood and leather with neutral walls and modern minimalist accent lighting balances the intricate historical detailing.

Dust the carved walnut framework regularly using a soft, dry cloth, applying a microcrystalline wax polish annually to protect the finish. Treat the leather seat with a dedicated hide conditioner to prevent cracking, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and intense sunlight.
