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

A Victorian open armchair features exposed timber supports beneath the armrests rather than fully enclosed upholstered sides. Popular during the mid-to-late nineteenth century, these chairs were designed for relaxed sitting in drawing rooms, libraries, and morning rooms.

Traditional construction utilised solid hardwood frames such as mahogany, beech, or walnut, combined with hand-tied steel coil springs, natural horsehair stuffing, jute webbing, and turned wood legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic pieces display hand-turned timber legs, stamped castors from historic makers, heavy solid hardwood framing, and traditional upholstery methods like hand-tufted buttoning and hessian lining beneath the base.

Leaving an antique armchair in neutral calico highlighting its architectural shape offers an organic texture that sits comfortably alongside minimalist contemporary art, natural linen textiles, and modern timber floors.

Vacuum the fabric gently using a soft brush attachment, avoid placing the piece in direct sunlight to prevent timber drying and textile fading, and treat exposed wood components with natural beeswax polish.
