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

Designed during the 18th and 19th centuries, these chairs were crafted for private study rooms, gaming parlours, and clubhouses, featuring curved horseshoe backs and padded armrests to support extended sitting.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, combined with natural hide leather upholstery, deep buttoning, brass studding, and brass wheel castors.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-carved mahogany frames, original brass or iron castors, hand-tacked studwork, and natural wear patterns on high-friction areas of the leather.

Place the chair beside a minimalist timber desk or in a reading corner alongside modern brass floor lamps to create contrast between traditional craftsmanship and modern design.

Apply specialised leather balm periodically to prevent cracking, wipe wood frames with a microfibre cloth, and avoid direct exposure to heat sources or sunlight to prevent drying and fading.
