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 early 20th century Georgian style armchair operates as a leather hall porter chair with a barrel back configuration. Hand dyed olive green leather covers the entire frame, accented by extensive deep buttoning across the wrap-around back and seat. Rows of individual brass studs trace the contours along the roll-over arms and down the front facing edge. The wooden frame stands on fluted front legs and tapered dark supports, displaying a surface marked by a gentle ageing patina without any tears or splits, alongside intact buttoning throughout. Measuring 109.5 cm high, 88 cm wide, and 82.5 cm deep, this seating option fits comfortably into a traditional study, reading room, or formal hallway. The enclosed wrap-around back offers a sheltered seating experience reminiscent of historical porter designs, while the sturdy construction supports regular domestic use in a home setting today.

FAQs

A hall porter chair traditionally featured a high back and side wings designed to shield hall porters from cold draughts near entrance doors in grand historic residences.

Traditional construction incorporates a solid timber frame upholstered in full-grain leather, secured with hand-tacked brass studs and filled with deep-buttoned padding.

Key design features include capitonne deep buttoning, high winged backs, rolled armrests with brass studded borders, and square tapered wooden legs.

Position the chair in a study, library, or entrance hall alongside a low side table and focused lighting to create a dedicated reading area or focal point.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry cloth, apply a specialist leather wax conditioner periodically, and keep the piece positioned away from direct heat sources to prevent drying.
