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 nineteenth-century French reclining armchair comes with a matching contoured footstool. The set is upholstered in a pale blue woven fabric featuring a delicate patterned texture, contrasting against dark ebonised ring-turned wood legs that terminate in small brass castors. The armchair incorporates a high reclining backrest and padded armrests, while the footstool mirrors the curved lines of the seat. The measurements are 101 cm high, 42 cm wide, and 104 cm deep. Suitable for placement in a formal living room, a reading corner, or a bedroom, this seating combination provides a practical yet decorative addition to a traditional interior scheme.

FAQs

During the 19th century, French cabinetmakers designed adjustable reclining armchairs, frequently accompanied by a matching footstool, to provide ergonomic support within residential drawing rooms.

These armchairs were built with solid hardwood frames, such as beech or oak, incorporating steel coil springs, natural hair padding, woven webbing, and turned timber legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic examples feature traditional joinery, integrated mechanical ratchets within the seat frame for reclining functions, hand-turned wooden legs, and original brass castor hardware.

Place the chair and stool set in a dedicated reading alcove alongside a contemporary floor lamp and minimal side table to complement historical craftsmanship with modern functionality.

Position the fabric away from direct sunlight to minimise colour fading, vacuum gently using a soft brush attachment, and keep the brass castors clear of debris to prevent floor damage.
