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 the early 20th century, Edwardian shield back chairs draw design elements from 18th-century Neo-classical styles, featuring an open timber backrest shaped like a shield, often embellished with light marquetry inlay and subtle curved armrests.

These chairs are primarily constructed using dense mahogany timber, with delicate inlays composed of lighter woods such as satinwood, boxwood, or fruitwood. Seats are typically padded and covered in woven fabric or leather.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints or timber peg construction, unevenness in hand-inlaid marquetry veneers, natural patination around areas of high contact, and signs of historical hand-planing on the underside.

Integrate an antique mahogany chair into a contemporary space by pairing it with a minimalist glass or steel desk to create visual contrast, or place it individually in a bedroom corner as an accent seat alongside modern textiles.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a microfibre cloth and applying beeswax every few months, avoiding direct sunlight and radiators. Vacuum the fabric seat gently using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust build-up.
