Archival Detail
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.

Originating in the mid-nineteenth century, French Renaissance Revival furniture incorporates structural forms and detailed woodwork inspired by sixteenth-century French design, often featuring turned spindles, carved finials, and solid hardwood construction.

These chairs were typically constructed using dense hardwoods such as walnut or oak, assembled with traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and upholstered using woven textiles fastened with brass upholstery studs.

Authentic period pieces display hand-turned elements, historical wear patterns along the armrests and stretchers, age-appropriate patination on the timber, and traditional structural joinery rather than modern fasteners.

Position the piece as an accent chair in a reading nook, library, or hallway, pairing the detailed woodwork and patterned fabric against neutral walls and simplified contemporary furnishings.

Dust the wooden frame regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply beeswax polish periodically to preserve the walnut timber, and gently vacuum the upholstery fabric to prevent dust accumulation.
