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 18th century English wing armchair follows a Georgian style, combining a mahogany frame with a cream cotton calico upholstery. The piece stands on square chamfered legs connected by an H-stretcher, supporting scroll arms and characteristic winged side panels designed to block drafts. The dark brown timber finish contrasts with the pale fabric of the loose seat cushion and the high backrest. The back legs exhibit a slight backward angle known as a kick. Measuring 118 cm high, 80 cm wide, and 75 cm deep, this seating unit fits comfortably in a traditional sitting room or a quiet reading corner. Homeowners place such armchairs near a fireplace or beside a bookshelf for comfortable reading and relaxation. The sturdy wooden stretcher base provides structural stability while enhancing the traditional appearance of the furniture.

FAQs

Developed in 18th-century England, the Georgian wing armchair features a high back with side wings designed to trap heat from open fireplaces and shield the sitter from draughts.

Original Georgian frames were constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or beech, utilising mortise and tenon joinery alongside hand-tied steel springs, horsehair padding, and natural fibre webbing.

Authentic Georgian wing armchairs typically exhibit hand-carved solid wood legs, square-cut stretchers or cabriole legs, irregular hand-hewn frame elements under upholstery, and historical wear on the timber base.

This classic silhouette can be re-upholstered in contemporary wool, velvet, or linen fabrics to serve as a statement reading chair alongside a modern floor lamp or minimalist side table.

Keep the wooden legs clean using a dry microfibre cloth and apply natural beeswax periodically, whilst keeping upholstered surfaces out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric degradation.
