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

Late Victorian open armchairs from the late nineteenth century typically feature exposed wooden framing, open sides beneath padded armrests, and turned turned legs. They frequently incorporate deep-buttoned or tufted upholstery, lower seating profiles, and an angled back designed for comfortable lounging.

Frames were constructed from dense hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, held together with mortise and tenon joinery. The internal upholstery relied on hand-tied steel coil springs, natural hair or fibre padding, webbed hessian bases, and heavy fabrics like silk velvet or wool damask.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-finished turned wood details, original brass or iron castors, and precise joinery marks beneath the frame. The oak grain often shows natural patination, and the underside framework displays hand-sawn timber and traditional webbing techniques.

Positioning an upholstered period chair alongside clean-lined modern accent tables creates visual texture and contrast. The muted tones of vintage velvet complement contemporary neutral colour palettes while providing a focal point in living rooms, study corners, or bedrooms.

Vacuum velvet upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment to remove dust without crushing the pile. Treat exposed timber frames with natural beeswax polish to protect the finish, and keep the piece away from direct heat sources and harsh sunlight to prevent fading.
