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 nineteenth-century Britain and Europe, open arm library chairs feature exposed timber arms, comfortable deep seats, and inclined backs designed for extended reading in private studies or personal libraries.

These chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, constructed with mortise and tenon joints, webbed seat bases, coil springs, natural hair stuffing, and brass castors.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces demonstrate hand-turned legs, original brass or iron castors, hand-stitched hessian webbing, and evidence of historical woodworking techniques rather than modern staples or synthetic foam.

Position the chair beside a bookshelf, fireplace, or floor lamp to create a designated reading nook, pairing the timber frame with neutral textiles or traditional leather upholstery.

Keep the timber frame clean using specialised beeswax polish, avoid placing the piece in direct sunlight or damp conditions, and consult an antique upholstery specialist for fabric restoration using period-appropriate materials.
