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 19th century, balloon-back armchairs feature a rounded, continuous timber backrest frame reminiscent of a hot air balloon, popularised during the Victorian era for parlours and firesides.

These chairs typically combine solid hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut with hand-knotted spring suspension, horsehair stuffing, and deep-buttoned textile or velvet upholstery.

Authentic Victorian examples feature hand-carved mahogany or walnut frames, traditional joinery, brass castors on lower legs, and deep button-tufted upholstery detailing.

Position the chair in a reading nook, bedroom corner, or alongside contemporary seating to create visual contrast, pairing warm timber frames with modern neutral or jewel-toned textiles.

Vacuum the upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment, position the timber frame away from direct sunlight or radiators to prevent drying, and polish the wood periodically with beeswax.
