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

French Hepplewhite furniture combines classical French curves, such as cabriole legs and cartouche-shaped backrests, with Neoclassical restraint and balanced proportions popular in late eighteenth-century design.

These armchairs are typically crafted from carved beech or oak, finished with painted gesso layer, and upholstered over traditional webbed padding using silk, brocade, or linen fabrics.

Authentic period armchairs feature hand-carved joinery, peg construction, natural surface wear exposing underlying wood or gesso, and historical tool marks on the underside of the frame.

Position the armchair as a focal accent piece in a bedroom corner or living space, pairing its soft painted tones against neutral walls and contemporary architectural details.

Dust the painted frame regularly with a soft dry microfibre cloth and position the chair away from direct sunlight to prevent silk fibres and original paintwork from fading.
