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.

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

Hitchcock chairs originated in the early 19th century, pioneered by Lambert Hitchcock in Connecticut. They became famous as mass-produced wooden side chairs featuring ebonised or dark painted finishes with bronzed or gold decorative stencilling.

These chairs are typically constructed from native hardwoods such as maple, birch, or lime, then painted in dark tones. The seats are commonly woven from natural rush, cane, or splint, and decorated with stencilled metallic powders.

Authentic period examples often feature turned legs, multi-part back slats, hand-applied metallic stencilling depicting fruit or floral themes, and occasionally a makers stamp along the back of the seat rail.

A set of four black stencilled chairs contrasts well with a plain modern or rustic timber dining table. They can also serve as standalone accent chairs in hallways, study spaces, or guest bedrooms.

Dust painted surfaces gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid water or harsh chemical cleaners that can lift original bronzing or paint layers. Protect natural rush seats from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent brittle fibres.
