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

Louis XVI style seating emerged in the late 18th century, transitioning away from Rococo curves toward Neoclassical geometry. Key characteristics include straight lines, symmetrical frames, fluted tapering legs, and motifs inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity.

Frames were primarily crafted from solid hardwoods such as walnut, beech, or oak, often finished with gilding, paint, or natural polish. Upholstery traditionally incorporated horsehair, webbed foundations, and silk, velvet, or linen coverings.

Authentic period pieces display evidence of hand-carved joinery, peg construction, stop-fluting on legs, and hand-chiseled decorative blocks. Frame undersides usually reveal hand-sawn timber marks and age-appropriate wear to the gilding or finish.

Place the chair alongside clean-lined contemporary sofas to create a visual contrast between classical carved woodwork and modern minimalism. It functions effectively as a focal accent chair in a drawing room, bedroom corner, or formal study.

Clean the woodwork regularly using a dry, soft microfibre cloth or light feather duster to prevent dust build-up. Keep the item away from direct sunlight, central heating sources, and excess humidity to prevent the timber from warping or the gilding from flaking.
