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.

This George III style wingback armchair dates from circa 1800 and exhibits large, wide country house proportions with outswept, pointy wings and scrolled armrests. The timber frame wears a floral chintz slip cover showing yellow and red hues decorated with orange flowers, complemented by a pleated skirt at the base and a seat height of 48 cm. The overall dimensions measure 108 cm high, 92 cm wide, and 85 cm deep. Position this seating in a drawing room, country house study, or formal living space as a comfortable reading chair or fireside seat. The slip cover sits over a striped fixed cover in pastel tones, and the piece retains an original horsehair squab cushion with good clean surfaces ready for interior placement.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century Britain during the reign of King George III, wingback armchairs feature high backs, substantial side wings designed to trap hearth heat and block draughts, and deeply cushioned seating.

These armchairs were built around sturdy timber frames, usually oak or beech, stuffed with natural horsehair and fiber fillings, and upholstered in wool, damask, silk, or printed cotton chintz.

Authentic 18th-century examples display period-appropriate hand-cut joinery, traditional horsehair padding, original castors or corner blocks, and broad, generous proportions characteristic of Georgian cabinetmaking.

A floral winged armchair functions as an accent piece when paired with minimalist wooden side tables, grounded by neutral floorboards or plain wool rugs to balance intricate botanical patterns.

Position upholstered seating away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, vacuum gently using a brush attachment, and clean wooden legs using natural beeswax rather than synthetic sprays.
