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 Scottish wingback armchair from 1920 follows a Georgian style, produced in Edinburgh by cabinet makers Whytock and Reid. The piece comprises a mahogany show frame standing on cabriole front legs, finished with a loose seat cushion and upholstered in a patterned slate blue fabric. Brass stud trim runs along the lower frame, complementing the scrolled armrests and the prominent winged backrest. The chair measures 95 cm high, 72 cm wide and 70 cm deep, with a seating height of 44 cm. Suitable for an English country house setting, the chair fits well as a fireside seat in a living room, a reading chair in a study, or an occasional seat in a bedroom. The small proportions allow it to sit comfortably in compact spaces while providing a supportive, comfortable seat.

FAQs

A Scottish wingback armchair typically features high, supportive side wings, a tall backrest, and carved wooden legs, often designed with proportions suitable for traditional fireside sitting in colder climates.

Traditional construction incorporates solid hardwood frames, predominantly mahogany or walnut, webbed seat suspension, natural hair or wool padding, and upholstery secured with brass close-nailing or gimp trim.

Authentic period examples display hand-carved joinery, hand-forged brass studs, natural wear to the lower leg turnings, and solid hardwood frame elements exhibiting historical tool marks.

Pairing a structured, traditional wing chair with contemporary minimalist side tables, modern brass floor lamps, or neutral textured rugs creates a balanced statement piece within modern spaces.

Vacuum fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment, spot clean spills immediately with specialized upholstery cleaner, and treat exposed timber legs with beeswax to nourish the wood finish.
