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.
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.
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.

Originating from the French long chair, the chaise longue evolved in the 19th century into an essential piece of drawing room and boudoir furniture. Often referred to as a fainting couch, it provided a comfortable reclining surface during an era of restrictive fashion and formal interior decor.

Frames were typically crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, joined with traditional mortise and tenon woodwork. The upholstery traditionally incorporated coil springs, webbed bases, and natural horsehair filling covered in velvet, damask, or brocade.

Authentic period examples feature hand-carved frame elements, asymmetrical backrests, and original brass castors fitted to turned or cabriole legs. Examining the underside usually reveals period structural joinery, historic webbing, or hand-tacked upholstery remnants.

Position the piece as an accent focal point along a bedroom wall, within a bay window, or alongside a reading nook. Combining historic carved woodwork and deep buttoning with modern neutral paint palettes creates an effective visual contrast.

Vacuum upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust from deep buttoning and tufts. Clean exposed timber legs with natural beeswax polish and keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
