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

An iron back armchair features an internal wrought iron framing structure developed during the Victorian era, allowing upholsterers to construct curved backrests with slim, comfortable profiles.

These chairs typically incorporate wrought iron internal supports, hand-turned hardwood legs such as mahogany or walnut, horsehair padding, and hand-stitched upholstery fabrics like velvet or wool damask.

Authentic period examples feature stamped brass castors, hand-poured iron framing hidden within the structural stuffing, hand-carved timber legs, and traditional webbing crafted from natural hemp or jute fibres.

Place the armchair in a living room corner or bedroom space beside a minimalist floor lamp and side table to balance historical craft with modern design elements.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking and textile fading, brush velvet fabrics gently with a soft brush, and apply natural beeswax to wooden legs.
