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

Victorian button back armchairs are recognised by their deeply tufted upholstery secured with fabric-covered buttons, creating a padded grid pattern across the backrest. Prominent during the mid-to-late 19th century, these chairs typically feature short turned wooden legs, low seats, and brass castors.

Original Victorian seating was constructed using solid hardwood frames, predominantly mahogany, walnut, or beech. Internal upholstery relied on coil springs tied with jute webbing, layered with natural horsehair, coir fibres, and cotton felt beneath outer upholstery fabrics.

Authentic period examples feature hand-turned wooden legs often stamped with maker marks or serial numbers on the metal castors. Examining the underside reveals hand-stitched jute webbing, original brass castors secured with screws, and hand-tufted buttoning rather than modern stapled upholstery techniques.

Positioning a pair of button back armchairs opposite a modern minimalist sofa creates a balanced visual contrast between geometric modern forms and curved historical profiles. Mixing vibrant upholstery with original polished wood legs allows antique frames to integrate into contemporary colour schemes.

Vacuum velvet upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment along the grain to remove dust without crushing the pile. Treat turned wooden legs with natural beeswax polish, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, and inspect brass castors regularly to prevent floor abrasion.
