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.

This 19th-century Victorian slipper nursing chair exhibits a low-seated, armless silhouette upholstered in a bronze brown fabric, enhanced with button tufting across the backrest and seat. The piece rests on turned front legs fitted with brass and china castors. Visible details include distinct scuffs and wear on the fabric, a rolled top rail, and dark wooden components contrasting with the metallic castors. The chair measures 74 cm high, 54 cm wide, and 76 cm deep. Suitable for placement in a bedroom, dressing room, or quiet reading corner, this antique seating option integrates into traditional and eclectic home interiors. The low profile provides comfortable seating for various domestic settings while maintaining period character through its turned wooden supports and tufted upholstery.

FAQs

Vacuum fabric upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment, keep the frame out of direct sunlight to prevent timber drying and fading, and apply natural beeswax to the walnut legs.

Position the low-profile chair in a bedroom corner, dressing area, or quiet living room alcove alongside a small side table to establish a dedicated seating spot.

Authentic Victorian examples typically possess hand-turned wooden legs, brass or ceramic castors, deep button tufting, and a low seat height designed without armrests.

Traditional 19th-century nursing chairs feature solid hardwood frames such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, traditional coil spring stuffing, fabric upholstery, and turned legs with brass castors.

A slipper or nursing chair is a low-seated, armless upholstered chair introduced in the 18th and 19th centuries to assist women while dressing or nursing infants.
