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

Emerging in the 1830s, balloon back chairs feature a rounded, continuous backrest resembling an inflated balloon, characteristic of Victorian cabinetmaking.

High-end 19th-century chairs were constructed from dense hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, and walnut, often paired with horsehair padding and silk or velvet upholstery.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved floral or scroll motifs, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, rich dark timber with distinctive grain lines, and original corner blocks.

Pairing a set of antique carved chairs with a minimalist oak or glass dining table creates a balanced, eclectic contrast between traditional craftsmanship and modern design.

Keep timber surfaces hydrated using high-grade beeswax polish, avoid direct sunlight to prevent timber fading, and gently vacuum velvet upholstery with a soft brush attachment.
