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.

Nineteenth-century English armchairs are recognised for their substantial timber frames, comfortable deep-seated proportions, and curved or padded armrests. They often feature tall padded backs, turned or tapered front legs, and brass castors designed for ease of movement in drawing rooms.

Frames were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or beech, using mortise-and-tenon joinery. Internal upholstery relied on natural materials including horsehair padding, jute hessian webbing, steel coil springs, and brass fittings.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut timber joinery, period-correct brass castors often stamped with maker marks, and hand-stitched hessian or burlap construction. The timber frame will exhibit natural age-related patination and hand-worked tool markings on non-exposed areas.

A deconstructed frame showing exposed hessian adds textural interest to industrial or modern minimalist settings. Alternatively, professional reupholstery using contemporary linens, velours, or wool fabrics seamlessly integrates historical forms into modern colour schemes.

Exposed timber components should be dusted with a clean microfibre cloth and treated periodically with natural beeswax polish. Keep structural hessian and timber away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent drying out or frame distortion.
