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 large pair of traditional Scottish armchairs from 1930 is made by Whytock & Reid in Edinburgh. The chairs are upholstered in a beige patterned fabric with a diamond geometric design, paired with deep off-white feather down seat cushions and finished with tapered timber feet on brass castors. Each armchair measures 85 cm high, 88 cm wide, and 115 cm deep, with a seating height of 46 cm, and retains most of the original Whytock & Reid ticking. These generous armchairs suit a living room, study, or drawing room in a traditional home setting. The deep seats and swept backrests provide comfortable lounging, while the classic silhouette and muted tones complement various traditional interior styles.

FAQs

Whytock & Reid was a Scottish cabinetmaking and upholstery firm founded in Edinburgh during the nineteenth century, recognised for high-grade craftsmanship and long-standing collaborations with prominent architects such as Sir Robert Lorimer.

Traditional armchairs from this era feature solid hardwood internal frames, steel coil springs, natural fillings such as horsehair or feather down cushions, and turned or tapered timber legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic pieces often feature makers stamps, brass plaques, or paper labels on the underside or rear legs, alongside distinctively precise timber joinery, heavy hardwood frames, and superior tailoring.

Positioning a pair of deep armchairs opposite a streamlined sofa creates a balanced conversation zone, while pairing them with minimalist side lighting provides a clear textural contrast.

Plump down cushions regularly to retain their shape and volume, vacuum upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment, and keep exposed timber legs clean using a natural beeswax polish.
