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

Barocchetto, associated with the Italian Rococo movement of the mid-18th century, features curvilinear forms, light proportions, and ornate hand-painted decoration that replaced the heavier Baroque style.

Chairs from this period were typically constructed from carved hardwoods or softwoods, finished with gesso, hand-painted polychrome pigments, parcel gilding, and fitted with traditional woven upholstery.

Authentic pieces feature peg-and-tenon timber joinery, uneven hand-carved details, and layered paint wear showing underlying gesso or bare wood in high-friction areas.

These decorative open armchairs can be placed alongside minimalist contemporary sofas or used as statement seating in a hallway or bedroom to create visual contrast.

Dust surfaces gently using a dry, soft cloth, keep the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and avoid applying water or chemical cleaners that might dissolve original finishes.
