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

Seating from this era frequently incorporates dark ebonised wooden frames accented with parcel gilding, taking inspiration from Louis XVI neoclassical designs. Common features include oval medallion backrests, fluted legs, and detailed textile upholstery.

Frames were typically carved from hardwoods such as beech or walnut before receiving an ebonised stain and gold leaf application. Upholstery generally comprised traditional horsehair padding, webbing, and silk, satin, or embroidered tapestry covers.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural wear to the gilding where underlying wood or red bole shows through, along with period-appropriate mortise and tenon joinery. Castors are typically made of brass or porcelain, showing historic patina.

Position the piece as an accent feature in an entryway, bedroom, or living space alongside neutral backdrops. Pairing ornamental seating with minimalist contemporary art creates an engaging juxtaposition of eras.

Dust the gilt and ebonised framework gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth without liquid polish, which can lift gold leaf. Vacuum upholstery using a low-suction brush attachment and keep the item away from direct sunlight to prevent silk fading.
