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 frame resembling the shape of a hot-air balloon. Popular during the Victorian era, these chairs frequently incorporate Rococo Revival elements such as scrollwork, foliate carving, and curved cabriole or fluted legs.

Victorian cabinetmakers predominantly utilised dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood. Upholstery involved layered horsehair padding, webbing, and heavy woven textiles like damask, velvet, or brocade, often finished with brass castors on the front legs.

Authentic period pieces display evidence of hand-carving with subtle variations between individual chairs, hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, and natural wear patterns on frame joints. Original castors, wood grain depth, and historical upholstery tacks or frame marks also indicate age.

Carved Victorian dining chairs can be paired with plain timber or modern glass dining tables to create a curated contrast. The rich wood tone and textured upholstery serve as focal points in minimalist dining spaces or traditional period settings.

Walnut frames should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and polished twice a year with beeswax to maintain moisture and patina. Upholstered sections should be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and vacuumed gently with a soft brush attachment.
