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 nineteenth-century Biedermeier triple chair-back settee is constructed from warm brown maple with a polished finish. The frame displays three carved shell-motif crest rails, open outswept arms, scrolled arm supports, and plain seat rails. The seat is upholstered in pale green fabric. The front incorporates four turned tapering legs. The dimensions of the settee are 94 cm high, 191 cm wide, and 53 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this seating piece provides a grand Regency design aesthetic suitable for placement in a formal living room, hallway, or spacious bedroom. The open armrests and triple-back configuration offer a structured silhouette that complements both traditional and transitional interior schemes, while the pale green upholstered drop-in seat introduces a soft neutral contrast to the golden-toned maple woodwork.

FAQs

A chair-back settee is a type of wooden bench or small sofa featuring a backrest constructed from two or more joined chair-back frames, popular during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Biedermeier pieces were commonly crafted using light-coloured native hardwoods such as maple, birch, and cherry, characterized by rich grain patterns, clean neoclassic lines, and subtle carved decoration.

Authentic nineteenth-century seating often displays hand-carved joinery, natural patination across the timber, hand-turned legs, and traditional upholstery webbing beneath the seat frame.

Position a chair-back settee in an entryway, hallway, or along the foot of a bed to introduce structural wood elements and historical texture into modern living spaces.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent splitting or discolouration, and dust regularly with a clean cloth before applying clear beeswax.
