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

Louis XV fauteuil armchairs feature open padded arms, cartouche-shaped backs, and curvilinear frames supported by cabriole legs. Originating in 18th-century France, this Rococo design emphasises comfort, fluid lines, and ornate decorative embellishments.

Frames were typically crafted from carved hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or kingwood, frequently adorned with gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts. Upholstery traditionally incorporated rich fabrics including silk damasks, brocades, or woven cut velvets.

Authentic pieces feature signature elements such as serpentine rails, cabriole legs, hand-chased brass or bronze mounts, and padded armrests (manchettes). Traditional joinery techniques, natural wood grain variation, and genuine surface patina further indicate age and period construction.

Positioning a pair of French Rococo armchairs as focal seating in a contemporary room creates a structured contrast between historical ornamentation and clean modern lines. They operate effectively alongside neutral upholstery, minimalist side tables, or classic architectural features.

Vacuum the velvet upholstery using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust accumulation in the pile. Clean gilt-bronze mounts with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive polishes or chemical cleansers that could damage the patinated finish.
