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

A curule chair is a design based on the ancient Roman sella curulis, defined by its distinctive curved X-shaped leg or frame structure. Re-popularised during the Neoclassical and Regency eras, these open armchairs feature elegant sweeping lines, open arms, and often woven cane seating.

Traditional curule chairs are primarily crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut. The seating surfaces often incorporate hand-woven cane work, while decorative elements may include carved rosette paterae and delicate timber splats.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved mortise-and-tenon joinery, genuine hand-caned panels with irregular underside knotting, and hand-cut timber splats. Look for natural patination on high-wear areas like the curved arms and leg intersections, rather than uniform modern machine finishes.

A curule open armchair serves as an exceptional accent piece in a study, reading corner, or hallway. Its light, open silhouette balances heavier upholstered seating, while the dark timber tone adds classical architectural interest to contemporary schemes.

Keep the chair away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent the timber from warping and the cane from drying out or snapping. Clean the cane occasionally with a slightly damp cloth to maintain flexibility, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish to the wooden frame.
