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.

This pair of American folk art armchairs from circa 1900 is hand carved from solid dark brown hardwood in the naturalistic form of eagles. The sculptural design includes vertical feather-texture carving on the upright backrests, deeply incised plumage across the curved bodies and wings, downturned heads forming the armrests, and carved talons standing on textured oval bases. The timber displays a polished dark finish with a visible period patina, showing varied grain tones and natural wear from age. Measuring 80.5 cm high, 53 cm wide, and 65 cm deep, these low-profile seats function as decorative statement pieces in a study, library, or drawing room.

FAQs

Turn-of-the-century figural carved furniture emerged from late 19th and early 20th-century traditions, such as Black Forest woodworking and regional American folk art, featuring intricate depictions of wildlife and natural forms integrated directly into functional seating.

These pieces were typically carved from dense hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, enabling craftsmen to execute detailed feather textures and maintain structural strength from solid blocks and traditional joinery.

Authentic period examples exhibit subtle hand-tool marks, natural variation in surface texture, genuine age-related wear on contact points, and original wood patination that differs from modern machine-replicated carvings.

Sculptural chairs function as focal points when paired with understated contemporary backdrop elements, positioned within a study or library setting, or used to flank a entryway console.

Maintain carved timber by dusting regularly with a soft brush to clear detailed crevices, positioning away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage, and applying a natural beeswax polish periodically.
