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

Originating in 18th-century Britain, a Georgian barrel back armchair features a curved, semi-circular backrest designed to enclose the sitter and retain heat from open fireplaces.

These chairs were typically constructed with solid mahogany or oak frames, webbed horsehair padding, metal springs, brass castors, and wool or velvet upholstery.

Authentic Georgian examples display hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, original brass castors with steel screws, hand-carved framework, and natural wear on the wooden legs.

Position the armchair in a modern living space or reading nook paired with a contemporary side table and minimalist floor lamp to create a balanced textural contrast.

Gently vacuum velvet upholstery using a soft brush attachment, keep the piece out of direct sunlight, and nourish timber legs with beeswax polish.
