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

Originating in the Neoclassical era and popularised during the late 18th and early 19th centuries by cabinetmakers such as Thomas Sheraton, the lyre back chair incorporates a central splat shaped like a classical musical instrument. The design often incorporates brass strings or wooden rods, reflecting classical Greek and Roman aesthetic revivals.

Satinwood furniture relies on dense, fine-grained timber valued for its lustrous golden hue and shimmering figure. Construction traditionally features hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, fine brass stringing or wirework, and square tapered legs often fitted with brass cup castors.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved detailing, original brass hardware with natural oxidisation, and hand-cut joinery. Secondary woods inside frame bases usually show hand-planed marks, and genuine satinwood exhibits a distinctive natural chatoyancy under the finish.

A satinwood chair functions effectively as a focal accent piece alongside modern minimal desks or placed in an entryway. Pairing light-toned timber with contemporary neutral upholstery creates a clear juxtaposition between traditional craft and modern design.

Satinwood should be kept away from direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations to prevent wood shrinkage or veneer lifting. Regular dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and occasional application of high-grade beeswax protects the timber finish without altering its colour.
