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

The Arts and Crafts movement emerged in the late 19th century as a reaction against mass production, championing traditional craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and designs inspired by nature and historic forms.

These chairs typically feature sturdy hardwood frames such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, combined with traditional joinery, horsehair stuffing, and hand-woven or block-printed textile upholstery.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-accurate construction techniques, hand-turned wooden components, traditional upholstery materials underneath, and makers marks or stamps where applicable.

Pairing a historic armchair with modern minimalist furniture or neutral backdrops creates a striking focal point that highlights the craftsmanship and texture of the antique piece.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood drying and fabric fading, and gently vacuum upholstered surfaces using a low-suction attachment with a soft brush.
