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 armchairs are characterised by their deep, sprung comfort, low profiles, scrolled arms, and turned wooden legs fitted with brass castors stamped with the makers name.

These chairs typically feature a sturdy beech or walnut frame, traditional coil spring stuffing, horsehair padding, and Hessian scrim beneath the final upholstery layer.

Authenticity is verified by checking for stamped maker marks on the brass castors, serial numbers written on the back legs, and characteristic webbed upholstery foundations.

Position the armchair alongside contemporary minimalist furniture to create a focal point, or pair it with classic textiles within a traditional library or living space.

Preserve the piece by keeping it out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, vacuuming the upholstery gently with a brush attachment, and applying beeswax to exposed wooden legs.
