Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

George III style armchairs are defined by classical symmetry, mahogany construction, turned or fluted legs, and refined proportions inspired by 18th-century English cabinetmakers such as Thomas Chippendale and George Hepplewhite.

Chairs from this era were typically built with solid mahogany frames, traditional horsehair stuffing, hand-tacked leather or velvet upholstery, and brass studding around the borders.

Look for hand-carved woodwork details, natural timber oxidisation, hand-driven brass upholstery nails, and original mortise-and-tenon frame joinery exhibiting slight irregularities.

A pair of antique armchairs can be placed opposite a contemporary sofa, arranged beside a fireplace, or styled in a study to create contrast between historic timber and modern architectural lines.

Apply beeswax polish sparingly to the mahogany framework once or twice a year, and clean the leather with a soft cloth and specialised leather conditioner to prevent drying out or cracking.
