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

French Louis XVI style chairs typically feature geometric, linear silhouettes inspired by classical antiquity. Key characteristics include straight fluted or tapered legs, marquetry inlay, gilt brass or ormolu mounts, and classical motifs such as rosettes and urns.

Traditional construction relies on solid hardwoods such as walnut, fruitwood, mahogany, or beech for the framework, often accented with decorative wood veneers like satinwood or rosewood. Upholstery traditionally incorporates natural horsehair padding covered in velvet, silk, or tapestry fabrics, secured with brass upholstery tacks.

Authenticity can be verified by examining hand-cut joinery, such as mortise and tenon joints, irregularities in turned or carved elements, and signs of hand-planing on unseen wooden surfaces. Original brass fittings often show natural oxidisation, and timber frames display age-appropriate wear around lower stretchers and seat rails.

A pair of side chairs can be positioned symmetrically flanking a console table, window bay, or bedstead to create structural balance. Combining period timber framing with contemporary textiles or placing them alongside minimalist modern furniture creates a tailored, eclectic aesthetic.

Timber frames should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and conditioned annually with beeswax to preserve the original patina. Velvet upholstery requires gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and immediate spot cleaning with dry-solvent cleaners to prevent water marking.
