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 in the mid-18th century during the reign of King George II, these armchairs feature prominent side wings, high upholstered backs, and carved walnut or mahogany legs, often showcasing cabriole shapes with shell or acanthus leaf motifs.

Authentic 18th-century wing chairs feature solid walnut frames, horsehair and wool padding, hand-stitched webbing, and luxury upholstery fabrics such as silk damask, velvet, or wool needlework.

Look for hand-carved leg detailing such as exaggerated cabriole curves, claw-and-ball or pad feet, natural timber oxidisation beneath the frame, and traditional joinery including hand-cut mortise and tenon joints.

Position the armchair in a quiet reading corner or alongside a fireplace paired with a understated floor lamp to let its dramatic silhouetted wings and rich fabric serve as a statement focal point.

Keep the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber movement and fabric fading, dust wooden elements with a dry cloth, and clean delicate damask upholstery using specialist conservation techniques.
