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 17th and 18th-century France, fauteuils were open-armed chairs designed for conversational seating in formal drawing rooms and salons. During the 19th century, makers produced Rococo Revival iterations featuring elaborate leaf carvings, scrollwork, and gilded finishes mirroring earlier Louis XV styles.

Frames were typically carved from dense hardwoods such as beech or walnut before being coated in gesso and decorated with water gilding or oil gilding. Internal construction relied on hand-tied steel springs, jute webbing, and natural fillings like horsehair before upholstery.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age including natural wear to the gilding revealing red or grey clay bole beneath, hand-carved tool marks on the frame, and traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs.

Pairing giltwood chairs with simple contemporary sofas or placing them as accent seats flanking a fireplace creates a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern minimalism. Neutral upholstery allows the gilded frames to integrate into varied colour schemes.

Dust gilt frames gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaners that degrade leaf gilding and gesso. Keep the frames away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent timber movement and cracking.
