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.

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

This George III armchair by Gillows combines painted wood, parcel gilt accents and woven cane. The piece displays a distressed off-white finish with wear that reveals the timber underneath, curved armrests, and turned front legs with ring details. Original cane forms the seat and back panel, showing a slight sag. Measuring 56 cm wide by 59 cm deep, the construction remains solid with firm joints that have never been apart, and retains the journeyman's cabinet maker's initials on the underside of the frame. Suitable for placement in a traditional hallway, study or bedroom, this armchair provides characterful seating for daily use or as a decorative accent. The aged surface and historic touches fit comfortably within an English country house interior scheme. Visitors to the home will appreciate the authentic period details and craftsmanship preserved over centuries.

FAQs

George III painted seat furniture from the late 18th century is recognised for its lightweight classical construction, delicate painted finishes, and hand-woven cane seats or backs.

These chairs were typically constructed using native hardwoods such as beech or lime wood, finished with layers of gesso, water-based paint, leaf gilding, and woven natural rattan cane.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery, original pegged construction, hand-drawn wire or tacks securing the cane, and genuine surface wear along high-touch contact points.

A single painted carver chair serves effectively as a desk chair, an accent piece beside a console table, or a focal point in an entry hall.

Preservation requires keeping the piece in a humidity-controlled environment, avoiding direct sunlight, dusting gently with a soft dry brush, and refraining from applying harsh chemical polishes.
