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.
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.
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.

A Georgian barrel back armchair features a continuous curved backrest that wraps around the sitter, originally designed to enclose the body and shield against draughts in 18th-century homes.

Georgian armchairs were built with solid hardwood frames, predominantly mahogany or oak, stuffed with natural materials such as horsehair, and fitted with hand-carved legs.

Authentic pieces feature detailed hand-carved elements, such as acanthus or shell knees and ball and claw feet, alongside visible hand-carved joinery and genuine age-related patination on the timber.

Place the armchair alongside a modern floor lamp or minimalist side table to create a focal reading area that combines historic structure with clean modern elements.

Clean the fabric regularly using a soft brush vacuum attachment, nourish the timber legs with natural beeswax polish, and avoid placement near direct sunlight or heat sources.
