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

Louis XV style armchairs, often termed fauteuils, are characterised by light carved wooden frames, curved cabriole legs, and asymmetrical cartouche-shaped backs. Originating in 18th-century France, they emphasised comfort and intimate salon conversation over rigid formal seating.

These chairs typically feature solid carved hardwood frames made of walnut, beech, or fruitwood. The upholstery consists of hand-woven Aubusson tapestry panels, crafted from wool and silk threads using traditional flat-weave techniques.

Authentic 18th-century pieces display hand-carved joinery with peg construction rather than modern screws, along with natural unevenness in the wood. Original Aubusson tapestry upholstery exhibits hand-spun wool fibres, subtle vegetable dye fading on the front compared to the back, and hand-stitched seams.

Position a pair of fauteuils opposite a modern streamlined sofa to create a balanced conversational area. The contrast between intricate carved woodwork and contemporary minimalist decor highlights the historical character of the seating.

Keep upholstered antique chairs away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent dye fading and fabric degradation. Dust the woodwork with a soft microfibre cloth and vacuum tapestries gently using a low-suction brush attachment.
