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

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 furniture is characterised by exceptional comfort, traditional coiled spring construction, and meticulous upholstery techniques that set the standard for Victorian and Edwardian seating design.

Authentic pieces typically feature solid timber frames, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, hessian webbing, and turned walnut or mahogany legs fitted with brass castors stamped with maker details.

Authenticity is verified through stamped numerical markings on the back legs, stamped brass castor collars, original lining ticking, and specific structural hallmarks associated with the firms workshops.

Pairing this piece with neutral walls, minimalist architectural elements, and contemporary lighting allows the traditional patterned upholstery to serve as a sophisticated focal point in a living space.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, protection from direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, and professional cleaning when necessary to maintain the integrity of historic fabrics.
