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.

These Victorian side chairs date from 1860 and are made from walnut with a medium brown finish. Each chair has a balloon back, a carved lower rail, a serpentine seat, and cabriole front legs with outswept back legs. The seats are newly recovered in a quality yellow and grey patterned fabric. Measuring 83.8 cm high, 45.7 cm wide, and 40.6 cm deep, the chairs are practical for everyday seating. Appropriate for placement in a bedroom, dressing room, or as additional seating in a living room, these side chairs fit an English Country House interior. The walnut woodwork displays a warm finish complementing the floral pattern on the upholstery. The carved scrollwork on the lower back rail adds traditional Victorian detail to the design, providing both functional utility and decorative appeal for the home.

FAQs

Popularised during the mid-19th century, balloon-back chairs feature an open, rounded backrest resembling a hot air balloon, typically paired with curved cabriole or turned legs.

Makers primarily crafted these chairs from solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, often featuring hand-carved floral accents and upholstered drop-in or padded seats.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved detailing, saw marks on unexposed wooden surfaces, original castors or turned foot profiles, and period-appropriate joint construction such as mortise and tenon.

Position a pair in an entryway, use them as accent seating in a dressing room, or integrate them alongside a contemporary dining table set to create an eclectic aesthetic.

Dust the timber framework regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, while vacuuming upholstery using a low-suction fabric attachment.
