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

A Savonarola chair is a type of X-frame armchair that originated during the Italian Renaissance, named after the Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola.

These chairs typically feature carved timber frames with intersecting curved slats forming an X-shape, often finished with painted polychrome surfaces, gold leaf gilding, and upholstered seats.

Look for hand-carved decorative details, age-appropriate wear to the gilding or paint finish, traditional joinery methods, and natural patination along wood joints.

Place them as symmetrical accent seating in a formal entryway, flanking a console table, or alongside a minimalist fireplace to create structural contrast.

Clean gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove dust from carved details, avoiding liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals that can strip gold leaf or paint finishes.
