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 set of ten Georgian dining chairs comprises eight side chairs and two armchairs executed in mahogany with dark brown timber tones and needlepoint textile upholstery featuring pink, yellow, blue, and green floral tapestry covers. The circular wheelback frames display carved laurel leaf rosettes at the centre with eight radiating leaf-carved spokes, complemented by shaped and moulded edge rails and elegant turned and fluted legs headed by carved laurel leaves, while the armchairs include curved side arms. The side chairs measure 87.5 cm high by 47.5 cm wide by 46 cm deep. These traditional seating pieces suit formal dining rooms and country house interiors, providing practical seating around a large dining table.

FAQs

Wheelback dining chairs are characterised by a circular backrest featuring carved spokes radiating from a central medallion, a motif popularised in 18th-century English Neoclassical cabinetmaking.

High-grade timber such as mahogany or walnut was typically selected for the frame, paired with hand-woven tapestry, needlepoint, or leather upholstery for the seating surface.

Authentic 18th-century examples exhibit hand-carved details, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, subtle variations in wood grain, and age-related patination around the frame joints.

A complete set can serve as a focal point around a minimalist oak or dark timber dining table, balancing historic craftsmanship with clean contemporary lines.

Polish the mahogany framework periodically with natural beeswax, and protect the tapestry seats from direct sunlight while gently vacuuming the textile to prevent dust accumulation.
