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.

FAQs

This style is characterised by heavy baroque influences, featuring intricate hand-carved rosewood frames, high embossed leather backs, and elaborate craftsmanship typical of the Iberian Peninsula during the period.

They are traditionally constructed using dense tropical hardwoods such as rosewood, joined with mortise and tenon techniques, and fitted with hand-tooled leather secured by brass studs.

Authenticity is identified through period-correct joinery, natural oxidisation of the rosewood, hand-stitched or brass-pinned leather tooling, and historical wear patterns consistent with age rather than artificial distressing.

They can be used as statement accent seating in a study or dining room, contrasting effectively against minimalist architectural backdrops to add texture, history, and visual weight.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking and wood fading, and occasionally treating the leather with neutral wax or conditioner.
