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.

This Hepplewhite style armchair, dating from 1850, is constructed from wood and cane with a soft green painted finish. The piece measures 93 cm high, 53 cm wide, and 54 cm deep. The chair displays a rectangular backrest incorporating a central vertical splat carved and painted with a neoclassical urn motif, flanked by open frameworks and an upper frieze detailed with star patterns and gold detailing. The arms curve downward from the back support to meet the seat rails, framing a woven cane seat inset within a dark green painted wooden frame. The lower structure rests on four square tapered legs. The paintwork shows minor surface wear consistent with age, and the cane panel remains intact. In a modern interior, this chair provides a functional seating option suited for placement in a study, bedroom, hallway, or as an accent piece at a dining table. The compact dimensions allow it to fit easily into smaller spaces while maintaining a classic English country house aesthetic. The combination of the woven texture and painted decorative elements makes it practical for daily use in domestic living areas.

FAQs

Hepplewhite style seating originates from 18th-century English cabinetmaker George Hepplewhite, characterised by lighter proportions, straight tapered legs, and distinctive backrests incorporating shield, heart, or urn shapes, often accented with painted detailing.

These chairs are constructed from hardwoods such as beech or mahogany, finished with hand-painted polychrome decoration, and feature seats woven from natural rattan cane.

Look for crisp hand-carved joinery, square tapered or turned legs, original woven cane work, and hand-applied painted decoration showing natural age-related patina and wear.

This type of chair functions effectively as a standalone accent piece beside a desk, in a dressing room, or placed in a hallway to add historical contrast against modern backdrops.

Dust painted wood surfaces gently with a dry soft cloth, avoiding chemical solvents, and lightly humidify the underside of the cane seat periodically to maintain elasticity and prevent cracking.
