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

Howard and Sons was established in London during the 19th century, renowned for producing high-quality upholstered furniture that became synonymous with English comfort and craftsmanship.

Authentic pieces typically feature solid beech wood frames, traditional coil spring suspension, horsehair stuffing, and heavy ticking or upholstered outer coverings.

Authenticity is often verified through stamped wooden legs, printed paper linings on the underside, stencilled serial numbers, and specific branding on the castors.

Pairing traditional upholstered seating with contemporary lighting and minimalist architecture creates a balanced look that highlights the heritage design without overwhelming the space.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently using a low-suction attachment, and consult professional textile conservators for deep cleaning.
