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

The Arts and Crafts movement emerged in the late nineteenth century, promoting honest construction, hand craftsmanship, simple forms, and integrated textile design as a reaction against industrial mass production.

Armchairs from this period typically feature solid hardwood frames such as mahogany or walnut, hand-tied coil springs, natural hair padding, woven upholstery fabrics, and brass castors.

Authentic pieces often exhibit distinctive leg profiles, original stamped frame numbers or labels, specific joinery techniques, and recorded design attribution to key designers such as George Jack or Philip Webb.

Position the armchair alongside modern side lighting and neutral, textured rugs to complement the detailed woodwork and patterned fabric without cluttering the surrounding space.

Keep exposed wooden components conditioned with natural beeswax, vacuum the upholstery carefully using a soft brush attachment, and place the chair away from direct sunlight and radiator heat.
