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

Popularised in the late 18th century by cabinetmaker George Hepplewhite, shield back chairs feature an openwork frame shaped like a shield, typically containing carved splats with classical motifs such as wheat sheaves, urns, or anthemion leaves.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany due to its structural strength and fine grain suitable for intricate carving, paired with stuffed or drop-in seats upholstered in leather or woven fabric.

Authentic period examples feature hand-carved details on the back splat and knees, mortise and tenon joint construction, and natural patination across the timber surfaces.

Shield back chairs can be paired with a minimalist modern dining table to create a balanced contrast between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary lines.

Timber surfaces should be dusted regularly with a dry cloth and polished annually with beeswax, while leather upholstery requires occasional treatment with a dedicated leather conditioner.
