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

A Victorian button back armchair features deep tufted upholstery secured with buttons across the backrest, popularised during the 19th century. Standard features include rounded contours, low-slung seating, and turned timber legs fitted with brass castors.

Traditional construction incorporated hardwood frames crafted from beech, oak, or mahogany, fitted with steel coil springs, jute webbing, and natural fillings like horsehair. Legs were typically finished with brass or porcelain castors.

Authentic Howard and Sons armchairs frequently feature maker stamps on the inside of the rear legs, stamped brass castors, or original monogrammed ticking lining the internal frame.

Position the armchair in a dedicated reading corner, bedroom alcove, or alongside minimalist modern furniture to introduce structural texture and contrast.

Vacuum the fabric using a soft brush attachment and treat spills immediately with a clean dry cloth. Apply natural beeswax to the wooden legs periodically and avoid positioning near direct heat sources.
