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

Popularised during the 19th century, the balloon back chair features an oval or rounded open backrest resembling a hot-air balloon, supported by curved stiles.

Craftsmen frequently utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, and rosewood, often featuring hand-carved decorative motifs, mortise and tenon joinery, and leather or fabric upholstery secured with brass studding.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-finished joinery, subtle variations in hand-carved detailing, natural patina on the timber, and period-appropriate fasteners or upholstery tacking techniques.

This style of chair works effectively as a distinctive accent piece in a hallway, paired with a contemporary writing desk, or positioned alongside understated minimalist furniture to highlight its curved silhouette.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a dry cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically, while cleaning leather components with a dedicated hide balm to prevent drying and surface cracking.
