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

Louis XVI armchairs, originating in late 18th-century France, are characterised by Neoclassical restraint, featuring straight lines, symmetrical proportions, and classical motifs such as fluted tapered legs, carved rosettes, and padded armrests.

Master craftsmen typically carved these chair frames from woods such as beechwood or walnut, which were often painted in soft tones or gilded, while the upholstery incorporated woven textiles over natural horsehair and coil padding.

Authentic period pieces frequently feature hand-carved joinery, stamped makers marks on the seat rail (such as a menuisier stamp), pegged mortise-and-tenon joints, and evidence of historical hand-planing on the unexposed underside.

A painted French armchair serves as a focal accent piece alongside clean-lined modern sofas, neutral wool rugs, or contemporary artwork, balancing historical texture with minimal architectural spaces.

Keep the timber frame away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood movement or paint flaking, clean carved surfaces gently with a soft brush, and vacuum upholstery using a low-suction attachment.
