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 Swedish bergere armchair is an enclosed upholstered lounge chair, historically featuring a solid or caned timber framework, deep seating, and classical ornamental carvings typical of 19th-century Northern European design.

These chairs are crafted using native timbers such as satin birch or pine, integrated with woven rattan cane side panels, hand-carved joinery, and padded upholstery.

Authentic period pieces display traditional hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, natural wear across carved armrests and feet, original woven cane, and subtle variations in hand-finished wood surfaces.

Positioning a pair opposite a modern sofa creates a structured conversational arrangement, allowing the detailed timber carving and woven cane texture to contrast with clean architectural lines.

Dust timber frames regularly with a dry cloth, apply clear beeswax annually to preserve the patinated finish, and lightly mist the cane in low-humidity environments to maintain elasticity.
