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.
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.
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.

A Louis XV fauteuil is an open-arm armchair originating in mid-to-late 18th-century France, characterised by curved cabriole legs, serpentine seat rails, padded armrests known as manchettes, and an exposed carved timber frame.

These chairs were crafted from native hardwoods such as beech or walnut, finished with painted gesso layers, and upholstered using hand-stitched needlework, wool tapestry, or silk damask over horsehair stuffing.

Authentic pieces feature pegged mortise-and-tenon joinery, hand-carved decorative motifs with slight asymmetry, original hand-stitched upholstery webbing, and natural wear to painted surfaces around contact areas.

Positioning a pair of French fauteuils alongside a streamlined modern sofa or within a quiet reading alcove creates a structured contrast between historical craftsmanship and contemporary architectural lines.

Position the seating away from direct sunlight and radiator heat to prevent thread fading and wood shrinkage, gently vacuum upholstery using a soft brush attachment, and clean painted woodwork with a dry microfibre cloth.
