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

An open arm library chair features exposed wooden arm supports and a generous seat profile, designed historically for comfortable reading in private studies or libraries.

These chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames, turned wooden legs, brass castors, and internal stuffing such as horsehair, coconut fibre, and hessian webbing.

Look for original brass castors, hand-turned front legs, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and evidence of hand-stitched hessian or calico under-upholstery.

Re-upholstering the frame in contemporary linen, velvet, or leather allows the traditional silhouette to contrast with minimalist or modern decor.

Dust the wooden components regularly with a soft cloth, apply natural beeswax to unvarnished timber, and keep the frame away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
