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 Georgian style armchair originates from London around 1900 and comes from the workshop of Cooper & Holt. The timber displays a warm reddish brown tone with a polished finish, complemented by a soft green leather drop-in seat pad. Design details include an open vase-shaped back splat, scrolled scroll armrests, and cabriole front legs decorated with carved acanthus leaves at the knees above pad feet. The wood structure shows no breaks or repairs, while the old leather cover carries characterful signs of use from a long history. Measuring 103 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 46 cm deep, the generous proportions provide a comfortable seat for daily use. In a contemporary home, this open armchair serves well as a desk chair in a study, an accent seat in a living room, or a reading chair in a library. The traditional styling integrates easily into both period interiors and modern settings alongside classic timber furniture.

FAQs

Georgian style seating typically features solid timber construction, carved cabriole legs, splat backs inspired by Queen Anne or Chippendale forms, and serpentine arm supports.

Makers predominantly utilised mahogany for its density, strength, and workability, pairing solid timber frames with leather or woven tapestry upholstery.

Inspect for corner blocks beneath the seat frame, hand-carved motifs on the leg knees, mortise and tenon joinery, and maker stamps or enamel badges under the seat rails.

Position the armchair beside a writing desk or set it in a hallway to contrast dark polished timber against light, neutral decor.

Apply beeswax polish periodically along the wooden frame to maintain its lustre, and treat the leather seat with a dedicated leather conditioner.
