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

Mid-19th-century Victorian library armchairs are characterised by deep-tufted leather upholstery, polished hardwood frames such as mahogany, and ergonomic curved backs designed for comfortable reading spaces.

These chairs typically feature solid mahogany timber frames, hand-tied steel coil springs, natural horsehair padding, studding or brass tack finishings, and deep-dyed hide leather resting on brass castors.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved mahogany frame details, natural surface patina and craquelure on genuine hide leather, hand-driven brass upholstery tacks, and period brass wheel castors.

Position a pair opposite a contemporary sofa to create balance, pair them with a minimalist side table, or set them within a home office alongside dark timber bookshelves.

Keep leather seating away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and periodically apply a specialist leather conditioner.
