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

Balloon-back dining chairs feature a distinctive rounded, continuous outer frame resembling a hot air balloon, popularised during the 1830s and remaining fashionable throughout the Victorian era.

High-grade Cuban and West Indian mahogany were typically selected for structural strength and deep grain visual texture, paired with webbed seat construction and horsehair stuffing.

Authentic pieces frequently bear a stamped mark such as GILLOWS or GILLOW & CO on the top edge of doors, drawer undersides, or rear legs, accompanied by precision joinery and superior mahogany construction.

Pairing dark mahogany frames with neutral contemporary upholstery or placing them around a sleek modern table creates a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent shrinkage, dusting regularly with a microfibre cloth and applying beeswax polished along the wood grain annually.
