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.

This late Victorian armchair belongs to the English Country House tradition of 1890. The piece takes the form of an upholstered high-back armchair covered in pale grey linen fabric. The frame incorporates padded, sloping arms that descend to meet the seat. The exposed structural elements include square tapered front legs rendered in dark walnut timber, terminating in round brass castors attached via small brass collars. The tall backrest features a gently arched top rail. Measuring 97 cm high, 67 cm wide, and 61 cm deep, this seating option suits placement in a traditional sitting room, study, or drawing room. The muted grey textile pairs with the polished dark wood supports to integrate into various classic interior schemes, offering comfortable upright seating for reading or relaxation.

FAQs

Late Victorian armchairs dating from the late 19th century typically feature high backrests, fully upholstered frames, and dark walnut timber legs fitted with brass castors.

Frames were built using dense hardwoods such as walnut or beech, filled with coil springs and natural fibres like horsehair, and upholstered in woven textiles.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-finished timber joinery, period-correct brass castors, genuine grain patterns on exposed legs, and traditional coil spring construction within the seat frame.

A high-backed period armchair can be positioned alongside contemporary side tables or minimalist floor lamps to create a balanced contrast between historical furniture forms and clean modern design.

Vacuum textile upholstery carefully using low-suction soft brush attachments, apply natural beeswax to exposed timber legs, and keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
