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

Victorian slipper chairs are characterised by their low-to-the-ground profile, sprung seat, and absence of arms, originally designed to allow ladies to sit comfortably while putting on shoes or garments in the bedroom.

These pieces typically feature a sturdy hardwood frame, traditionally made of beech or mahogany, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and heavy textile upholstery secured with brass tacks or piping.

Authentic period pieces exhibit traditional joinery, hand-stitched upholstery techniques, age-related patination on the wooden legs, and often stamped manufacturer marks or serial numbers on the castor wheels or frame.

This piece works well as an occasional seat in a sitting room or bedroom, pairing effectively with minimalist contemporary decor to add textural contrast and historical character.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, keeping the fabric away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and treating exposed wood with appropriate furniture wax.
