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.

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 & Sons armchairs are renowned for their exceptional comfort, deep buttoning, low profiles, and meticulous craftsmanship, originating from the Victorian era as the gold standard of lounge seating.

Authentic pieces typically feature robust beech frames, traditional coil spring suspension, horsehair stuffing, and hand-stitched upholstery finished with turned wooden legs and brass castors.

Authenticity is often verified by stamped brass castors, numbered legs, paper manufacturer labels under the upholstery, and distinctive makers stamps on the webbing or frame.

Pairing these traditional statement pieces with minimalist modern decor, neutral walls, or contemporary lighting creates a balanced, sophisticated aesthetic that highlights their heritage design.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently using a low-suction brush attachment, and have the upholstery professionally cleaned by specialists in antique textiles.
