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.

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

A Victorian shell back tub armchair features a rounded, barrel-shaped silhouette with vertical fluting or channel tufting that resembles a sea shell. These chairs typically display showood frames, where exposed carved timber outlines the upholstery along the arms and front legs.

Victorian cabinetmakers frequently used dense hardwoods such as mahogany or beech, which were stained or lacquered with dark ebonised finishes to imitate ebony. Upholstery from this era typically contained traditional coil springs, horsehair padding, and rich woven fabrics like brocade or velvet.

Authentic nineteenth-century armchairs generally feature hand-turned front legs, hand-stitched upholstery webbing, and period joinery such as dowel or mortise and tenon joints. Frame timber often exhibits subtle unevenness from hand-planing, along with original iron or brass castors.

An ebonised tub chair serves as a grounding accent piece in modern living rooms, studies, or bedrooms. Pairing dark, sculpted timber with contemporary neutral tones, modern minimalist lighting, or textured woven throws creates a balanced dialogue between historical detail and clean modern lines.

To preserve ebonised timber, dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply high-grade beeswax sparingly to protect the finish. Keep fabric upholstery away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and vacuum gently using a soft brush attachment.
