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

Victorian balloon back dining chairs feature rounded, open backframes shaped like a balloon, popularised in mid-19th century Britain. They often display hand-carved cresting rails, cabriole or turned legs, and padded seats designed for formal dining interiors.

Craftsmen predominantly worked with dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood. The upholstery traditionally comprised horsehair padding, steel coil springs, natural jute webbing, and woven fabric covers.

Authentic Victorian chairs exhibit hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, subtle variations in carved details, and natural timber graining. Historical oxidation and minor wear on the underside of the frame also indicate genuine period construction.

Combining carved Victorian chairs with a clean-lined modern dining table creates an engaging visual contrast. Selecting neutral or striped fabric upholstery bridges the gap between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary colour schemes.

Dust wooden frames regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually to maintain the timber finish. Upholstery should be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment and kept away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
