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 18th-century England, a Gainsborough chair is a wide-seated armchair featuring a high upholstered back, padded armrests, and exposed timber legs and arm supports.

These chairs typically feature dense solid mahogany frames, traditional horsehair padding, webbing construction, and brass upholstery studs.

Look for hand-carved detailing on mahogany legs, mortise and tenon joinery, historical upholstery tack marks, and natural timber oxidisation on the underside.

Place the chair beside a bookshelf, accent table, or floor lamp to construct an inviting reading corner within a traditional or eclectic interior scheme.

Vacuum velvet gently using a soft brush attachment and treat timber elements with high-grade beeswax polish, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators.
