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

Hepplewhite style furniture is recognised by light, elegant proportions, curved armrests, and shield-shaped backrests. Designs frequently incorporate Neoclassical motifs such as wheat sheaves, ribbons, or urns carved directly into the central splat.

Traditional pieces were crafted primarily from solid mahogany or satinwood using traditional mortise and tenon joinery. Chairs typically feature straight, square-tapered legs, often terminating in spade feet, alongside upholstered drop-in or fixed seats.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved details, uneven saw marks on unseen frame undersides, and natural timber patination around handle joints and stretchers. Later Victorian or Revival reproductions tend to exhibit precise machine manufacturing and uniform timber grain.

A singular shield-back armchair functions as an accent piece beside a desk, in a dressing area, or within a hallway corner. Re-upholstering the seat pad in contemporary neutral or patterned fabrics bridges historical craftsmanship with modern decor.

Dust mahogany timber regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and apply high-grade beeswax once or twice a year to preserve the polish. Keep timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage, joint loosening, and wood fading.
