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.
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.
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.

This type of armchair typically originates from mainland Europe during the 19th century, drawing design inspiration from Neoclassical, Empire, and Renaissance Revival forms. These chairs frequently incorporate dramatic sculptural elements, such as carved winged lions, combined with curved X-frame or curule bases.

Cabinetmakers favoured dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and oak, which permitted detailed hand-carving without splitting. Upholstery was commonly executed using leather or heavy woven textiles, secured to the timber frame with metal upholstery tacks or studs.

Authentic pieces exhibit evidence of hand-carving, such as slight structural variations across paired figurative elements, alongside traditional joinery techniques like mortise and tenon joints. Age-related patination on the timber surface and wear along structural contact points further indicate historical manufacture.

Positioning a bold carved chair alongside clean-lined, contemporary architectural features creates a balanced stylistic contrast. It functions effectively as a focal piece in a study, library, or hallway when paired with neutral walls and subtle lighting to highlight the timber detail.

Position the item away from direct heat sources and prolonged sunlight to prevent timber movement and leather drying. Apply a high-grade beeswax polish to the walnut elements periodically, and clean the leather using a dedicated conditioner applied with a soft cloth.
