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

Originating in 18th-century France, the Louis XVI fauteuil is an open-armchair characterised by neoclassical design principles, including geometric frames, straight lines, fluted turned legs, and carved crestings.

These chairs feature solid carved timber frames finished with gold leaf gilding over a gesso ground, paired with upholstery such as silk damask, brocade, or tapestry fabric.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-carved joinery, natural oxidisation or wear to the gesso and gold leaf gilding, hand-forged tacks, and expected timber wear along the leg bases.

Positioning these open armchairs against neutral walls or alongside understated modern furniture creates a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern minimalism.

Gently dust the giltwood frame with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to avoid lifting delicate gold leaf, and position the upholstery away from direct light source to minimise fabric fading.
