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 late nineteenth century, Victorian library armchairs were created for formal reading rooms and studies, characteristically featuring deep seats, comfortable padded arms, turned hardwood legs, and brass castors for ease of movement.

Frames were typically crafted from solid mahogany, walnut, or oak, utilising mortise and tenon joinery. Seat interiors relied on hand-tied steel coil springs, natural hair padding, and hessian webbing prior to final upholstery.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit solid timber frames with original hand-turned legs, stamped brass castors from makers such as Cope & Collinson, traditional coil spring seat construction, and evidence of historical hand-tacking along the underside.

Re-upholstering in a neutral or textured linen creates a clean contrast against dark mahogany legs, allowing the historical silhouette to integrate smoothly into modern minimalist, contemporary, or traditional living rooms.

Vacuum upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment, keep natural timber legs conditioned with beeswax, and ensure brass castors remain clear of debris to prevent drag on floor surfaces.
