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 fauteuil is a French open-armed chair with upholstered seat and back panels, originating in the 17th and 18th centuries. Giltwood versions feature hand-carved wooden frames finished with gold leaf, reflecting Louis XIV to Louis XV era grandeur.

Traditional construction utilises carved hardwoods, such as beech or walnut, coated with a gesso base before applying real gold leaf gilding. Upholstery historically consists of natural fillings like horsehair and jute webbing, faced with luxurious fabrics like damask, silk, or velvet.

Authentic pieces show signs of age on the underside, including hand-carved joinery like mortise and tenon joints, as well as natural wear or rub-through on the gold leaf showing red or white bole beneath. Look for hand-sawn frame timber and aged upholstery tacks rather than uniform modern staples.

Place the armchair as a statement focal point in a living room, bedroom corner, or hallway alongside neutral textured walls. Contrast its ornate gilded frame and patterned fabric with clean-lined modern art or minimalist side tables to balance classic and contemporary elements.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft feather duster or dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water or chemical sprays that degrade delicate gold leaf. Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and spot clean upholstery only with professional dry solvents.
