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

Patent reclining armchairs from the early 19th century feature mechanical ratchets or concealed brass hinges allowing the backrest and arms to adjust for reading and relaxation. Popularised during the William IV and Regency periods, these chairs combined mechanical innovation with traditional cabinetmaking for library and study settings.

These chairs were constructed with solid mahogany frames, hand-carved decorative elements, and cast brass castors. Upholstery consisted of horsehair padding covered in dyed hide leather and secured with brass close-nail studding.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct joinery, heavy mahogany timber, original brass ratchet mechanisms beneath the armrests, and occasionally stamped patent marks or maker plates. The presence of period brass cup castors and hand-applied brass studding also confirms age and construction method.

Position the chair alongside a contemporary side table and a minimal floor lamp to create a dedicated reading area. Contrast the deep wood tones and red leather upholstery against neutral walls or textured plaster finishes to highlight the furniture silhouette.

Keep the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking. Treat the leather upholstery periodically with a specialist leather conditioner and apply natural beeswax polish to the mahogany framework to protect the patina.
