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.

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

Nineteenth-century French painted armchairs frequently drew inspiration from earlier neoclassical periods such as Louis XVI, characterised by symmetry, straight tapered legs, and refined painted finishes that replaced the exposed natural woods of previous eras.

These chairs are traditionally constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech or walnut, featuring mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved decorative motifs, layered gesso and paint finishes, and traditionally stuffed upholstery.

Authenticity is identified through hand-carved details, period-appropriate joinery, traditional hand-mixed paint finishes showing natural wear and oxidisation, and handmade upholstery foundations using natural fibres like horsehair and webbing.

Pair these armchairs with minimalist contemporary furnishings to create a balanced contrast, using their historical texture and muted colour palette to anchor a modern living space or reading corner.

Maintain the painted finish by keeping the chairs out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoiding chemical polishes that can degrade aged gesso and paint.
