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

Originating in the mid-19th century, balloon back chairs feature a rounded, open backrest resembling a hot air balloon silhouette, characteristic of Victorian cabinetmaking.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as solid mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, featuring carved cross-rails and upholstered drop-in or stuffed seats.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved open back frames, turned or cabriole front legs, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and natural age-related patina on the timber surfaces.

Arranging Victorian dining chairs around a modern glass, marble, or clean-lined timber dining table creates an engaging visual contrast between historic craft and modern design.

Dust timber frames regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax polish annually following the wood grain, and keep away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
