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

Master chairs were constructed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to provide prominent seating for presiding officers in institutions, guilds, or formal assemblies. Their high-backed design and carved details served to distinguish the occupant within a structured setting.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as Cuban or West Indian mahogany, chosen for strength and dark grain structure. The seats were padded using horsehair fill and covered in woven fabric or leather secured with brass studding.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, subtle irregularities in carved ornament, and natural shrinkage across wood joints over time. Examination of the underside often reveals hand-sawn timber rails and historic oxidisation of the wood frame.

A dark mahogany armchair functions effectively as a focal statement piece alongside modern minimalist desks, within reading alcoves, or positioned against contemporary neutral plaster walls to contrast timber tones with light background textures.

Mahogany frames require occasional polishing with natural beeswax to preserve timber moisture and lustre without build-up. Upholstery should be vacuumed gently using soft brush attachments and kept away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading.
